I'm looking at getting a bigger pack myself. I love my MR Big Horn. It makes the weight disappear. For bigger packs I'm looking at the MR Grizzly, Kodiak, or NICE 6500. For Kifarus I am looking at the MMR, AG2, or EMR. All of these packs are around the same weight. For me MR gets the edge since they already have some external pockets to better organize gear. With Kifaru I'd have to buy extra pockets. I know the hunting line is lighter but Kifarus hunting line doesn't really appeal to me. So organization might be something to look at.
