I'm not voting either, not knowing the packs myself.

Relevant info I would like to know:
How much do you usually carry?
How bulky is it?
How much does your current pack hold?

I was suckered into the "comfortable pack" trap once. A pack that's over 5 pounds is advertised as comfortable and feature heavy... well, the weight was brutal as I ended up carrying 3 pounds of extra pack and then 5 pounds of useless tent in that extra space.

Bottom line, REI etc are great at talking up heavy packs as "comfortable" but they are NOT. What guides my comfort level is almost entirely weight. Less weight, more comfort.

(edit) In fact, if someone can explain to me how a heavier pack is more comfortable, I will be impressed <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
