 The issue is nicely balanced in my own mind, but does anyone else have
 any ideas?

Take a look at Wiggy's stuff before you decide.  He works out of Colorado,
builds and sells excellent bags, and puts out one of the wildest newsletters
imaginable.  Ed Gillet uses and sells them --- my intro to them was on a trip
with Ed --- and my longest use, a two week whitewater trip in northwest Canada
and Alaska, was totally uneventful in a mid-weight bag.  They get wet --- they
stay warm.  Wiggy can explain why --- and he <will>!

Standard stuff --- no affiliation, happy user of products.  See him at his web
site, <www.wiggys.com>.
