Thanks for posting that.

I've been eyeballing folding panels lately. Good to know there's a
relatively high watt panel that actually fits in the luggage rack.

One possible advantage to a PWM controller is that it will handle
mixed sizes of solar panels. If I'm not misunderstanding, the MPPT
controller won't track as well with mismatched panels. i.e. if one
wanted to add another larger panel later on.

Using clues from Johns blog, I bet he used this panel:

Being a single man, this would be my choice   ;)    (another 80 Watt panel):
