Are Cadence Capsules worth the high price compared to Amazon silicone bottles?

Reviewer opinion is genuinely split. nytimes.com wirecutter coverage and many r/HerOneBag regulars find the modular magnetic system durable, leak-proof, and worth the long-term cost, while other HerOneBag threads and an r/traveladvice critique flag the capsules as small, heavy, and overpriced for serial travelers. If volume per capsule and weight matter more than modularity, a $10 silicone set will serve most casual travelers.
