Thanks for the heads-up grhoon. The Terraplane design is as good as a pack design will get, I agree, and so the Mystery Ranch big packs follow basically the same design but with beefier suspensions. The same back long two-pockets, the same bottom tent/pad straps, a better lid and lid straps, a much beefier hipbelt/yoke combo, the same internal load strap, the same location of the water bottle holders on the sides, etc.

Only one drawback on my G6000: The back center zipper allowing access to the main bag compartment. Don't need it, never use it, just adds extra weight to an all ready heavy pack. And the bottom sleeping bag compartment with the big zipper and the compression buckle could also be done away with as I just stuff my sleeping bag stuff sack down in from the top. But I'm getting ready for another trip and eyeballing my MR lovingly, etc.
