The Voyager in its case (including a trackpad) is about ¼ the size of a Glove80 case. Personally I think the Glove80 makes up for it in its ergonomics, but it does take up most of my backpack when commuting to the office.

I own a voyager and my friend has a glove80.
The glove 80 is probably a bit more ergonomic and has more keys, but I needed something I could chuck in my bag for co-working and the glove is just too big for that.
If I didn’t own a Maltron at home, I’d buy a glove 80 for home.
Oh also the glove80 doesn’t have hotswap keyswitches. The voyager does.
So the voyager is likely a bit easier to maintain in the event that a switch fails.
True, true. I am very close to getting a Voyager for that use case, and for experimenting with different switches, etc, since its easier. I also think the QMK-based configuration the Glove uses is more powerful than the Voyager’s system, but harder to use.
I was very hesitant to buy because these keyboards are eye wateringly expensive (although not as much as the maltron), but I’m pleased with the purchase.
Took a while to get used to layers, but overall a positive experience.
I did get burned by £35 import tax. Oh well.
