Well now that I am playing the waiting game I am looking more into which pack I am going to go with.
I have broke down the cost of the Highcamp 4800 with options vs the DT2.

This may help some or it may just help me decide.

4800 hc with ku pockets sounds like a nice lightweight modular setup.

Im in the same boat as you are. Deciding which bag to order.Waiting on bonus money from Army, so might be next year by time it shows up. Guess I better get the frame ordered and on its way soon as I sold my last pack and if I don't have something by middle of August, ill be packing ultra-light (ie no gear) in my x2.
