GlennGTR,
Sent you a pm.
I have had both a TG and a Scout. There is no comparison, the Scout is far superior in comfort and load capability. The stays make all the difference.
Glenn Id recommend you call Kifaru and have them setup a pack for you and your situation. Im sure they would be very happy to assist. Wouldn't be the first custom they have had to make.
I had the whipple last year... hated it...lol
