Don,
What size dry bags did you use and how many did you need for the crew? Did you have to take a lot of extra time with food breakdown? How much did your drybags weight?
Never thought about using them before (never really had a problem with the sacks the give you though). It does sound interesting to try if the weight isn't prohibitive. They are a bit on the expensive side, too, but I'd be willing to try a couple that I already have on a practice hike.
