Lower back stress would be slightly different due to the fact that only the big green tick rides like the big green tick. Is it a deal breaker? ... I don't know. May or ma not be for you. Chafing points (kidney pad) etc. would be different between the two...so is how they feel on your shoulders.

General fitness and I'd say both are equal. Training for something specific where large ALICE w/ LC-1 frame is the standard, then I would (and did) get that. If you can't/won't , does it doom you to automatic failure? Of course not... what you have between your ears and in your gut are the biggest factors in success or failure in many endevors.

I'm sure that didn't help.
