i have the same one and it is a comfortable pack, but i can't say i love it.
when i bought it i wasnt sure which features i'd value most since it was my first pack, but i have to say i don't really like the side pockets, they're a little odd shaped for water bottles, and i wish the hip belt had pockets that could actually fit snacks.

I bought a second pack last year that i havent used yet, but its an REI flash 45. 2lb lightweight pack, part of my slow transition to ultralight gear. when i hike i like to cover mileage fast, so it suits my style. if i hike with friends though and they're more casual, then i'll be more likely to bring the bigger pack.
