So what's the verdict on the UL arrow stays?

[Jake Leibke]

Having heard the opinions on stays, I'm interested in hearing opinions on the tactical vs the hunting frame. The major difference being the thickness of the frame-sheet. Does anyone have experience comparing stiffness, stability, load carrying comfort? Below is the weight difference off Kifaru's site:

Hunting: 1/16" HDPE Black Frame Sheet
- Weight: 26" frame 3lbs 5oz (composite stays)
- Weight: 24" frame 3lbs 4oz (composite stays)

Tactical: 1/8" HDPE Coyote Brown Frame Sheet
- Weight: 26" frame 3lbs 14oz (composite stays)
- Weight: 24" frame 3lbs 8oz (composite stays)

I haven't had the new hunting frame bit do have the new tactical frame. I have not had a pack bag on it, only a cargo panel with pockets attached. The only thing that bothers me is it seems to "barrel" towards the top with stuff strapped in. It hasn't affected the function or feel but I can see it and it bugs me a little. I don't remember any of the previous frames I had doing that with a cargo panel.
