Size is entirely a function of personal need. My personal peeve is people bringing too much stuff on commercial aircraft. I would strongly doubt that either of my 5000 cubic inch packs fully loaded would fit in overhead compartment, and it wouldn't cross my mind to try.

My companion had a Osprey pack designed for women that malfunctioned, causing significant inconvience (during, dare I say, a mountaineering trip in Canada), although frankly, I don't remember specifically how.

The pack was over-designed, and that the failure resulted from its complexity.

Simple is a good principal in evaluating design.
