You are not moving backwards if it works for you and there are no flies on Cache Hauler. My favorite pack is the Horn Hunter Full Curl and like you (I bought your G2 LH) I spent alot of money and too many sore shoulders.
It is funny how defensive both MR and Kifaru users get when you don't like either. Packs are like shoes, hard to recomend to someone what will work best for them, so I try to only speak to quality and design.
