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.
That was extremely helpful to make an informed decision. Thank you.
