I just put a set of Hepco & Becker Juniors on my Stt (It's kind of a Mini-Uly!) Well I noticed that the thing seemed to run hotter and the fan both ran sooner and longer. So I popped the bags off and it seemed to back up my feeling as I was cooler and while the fan did run it took longer to fire up.

Do you guys find the Uly does this? Seem like the bags trap the hot air in a pocket right on my legs.

Never noticed it, but the Uly's have the bags much further back than your STT, so perhaps the extra space helps with airflow.

Also never noticed a difference between bags and no bags.
