Does the new frame actually carry better or is it just lighter?

I have a Longbow and a Metcalf on the old frame. The Metcalf has the MR load lifters; for the Longbow I bought an aftermarket kit.


I think it carries better, in addition to being lighter. It is slightly smaller in dimensions. The frame forms better to the back. The waist belt has really improved. The load lifters/stabilizers are not as cumbersome as the old model.
