I have the BOra 80. Its an outstanding pack and you are paying for what you get. ArcTeryx still makes these and many of their items in Canada so you don't have to worry about cheaper, less reliable Taiwan/China construction. (That is part of the cost). The most important thing is finding the pack that fits your back right. And don't forget that in today's market with everything going lighter and smaller, you may be able to fit a weeks worth of stuff into a 60 L pack. You should practice by putting all of your gear (use what they have at the store) into the pack you're thinking of buying. For a comparable pack at a cheaper price you could check out the Gregory line. They have two packs in the 65-80 L range that are about $270 and are excellent. Osprey makes the Aether pack which is one step down from the crescent but could work for you as well and that comes in three different sizes all in your ballpark.
