With that much gear, the slight difference in weight of similarly sized bags ... will not make any difference. Just get one that you like !.

And one that's comfortable.

Be sure you learn how to properly adjust it! It makes all the difference between pleasure and pain.

I see SO MANY people who don't adjust their packs. Hanging too low. Their chiropractors are grateful, though.

Also learning to correctly stuff a pack so it rides better. Lightweight stuff on the bottom. Heavier stuff close to the body, high up. It takes a bit of practice, but makes a HUGE difference in terms of comfort and how far you can haul it. Even changing planes can be a trek.
