I looked at that one as well. The MR rep said that one does have stays which will support a load. It's just a little too big. I can get by with less the 2000 ci without too much difficulty. 2400 ci is pushing the limits of what I actually need. I'm afraid if I get 3000 ci, I will use all 3000 ci. and put myself in the 50 - 60 lb range, which is getting ridiculous for day hunts

Also, that pack weighs 5 lbs 13 oz, so there isn't a significant amount of difference in weight between it and the Long Bow at 6 lbs 8 oz to pass up on the versatility and expandability of the Nice frame.
