X-T1, 10-24mm and 50-230mm in a Tenba BYOB 9 in a Deuter SpeedLite 20

I couldn't find any info about whether or not the Tenba BYOB 9 Insert would fit in my Deuter Speedlite 20 backpack, which is super duper light, but has no padding whatsoever. It's handy for travel and (day) hiking, though.
In the Accessories forum, I found a few people discussing inserts, and the Tenba BYOB series and Crumpler Haven inserts came up a few times. However, the Crumpler insert doesn't seem to be in stock anymore in the US (and I'm not paying $40 intl shipping from their official site!), and no one seemed to mention the Tenba insert inside the Deuter bag.
So I checked the measurements, crossed my fingers, and ordered the insert a couple nights ago. Just came today, and to my great relief, it fits perfectly! Only downside is that I can't seem to get my 35mm f2 into there along with the X-T1 (with 10-24mm mounted) and the 50-230mm lens, but I'm not too upset about it. I still need something for my x70, and extra batteries anyway.
I thought I would share in case any other X-T1 owners were curious about this insert.

Comes with 4 flappy things (two are just half flaps)
10-24mm on my X-T1, and XC 50-230mm both with lens hoods . The neck strap is an Artisan & Artist E25R
had to fold up the strap and wedge it in there though

The top can be folded back and tucked into the pocket in the back; kinda handy!
I think this will work!
BTW, this is what happened to me after hanging out here for about a month:
and I'm still itching for more (esp that 16mm GAS thread makes me want to get that lens too)
