I know who use both the Barneys for packing moose (140+ lbs) and use the Kifaru for everything else (up to 100-110 lbs). Most guys won't/can't carry the sort of weight that brings a Barney's into its own, so it is a moot point.
IMO carrying two packs backpacking is not a good trade-off. The combo you are talking about is 2# heavier than a Kifaru EMR II/duplex combination, which packs down nicely as a daypack. Think about what guys will usually do (or spend) to drop 2# versus the utility of having a seperate daypack on a backpack hunt.
