Kifaru are really over-built for most hunting uses but for hauling really heavy loads the duplex frame system is hard to beat and they will last a lifetime.
I could never shoot my bow that well with the duplex frame so I've sold a few Kifaru packs. I also wanted a little more organization in a pack right out of the box and at the time Kifaru only offered organization features by adding pouches and pockets which results in a heavier even more expensive pack.
At my age I'm not hauling the huge loads so the duplex wasn't really needed but I kept my Scout. I use a lighter pack for western elk hunting (Exo 3500) and it does a good job of carrying my largest loads and doesn't affect shooting my bow.
