I've been running the original internal frame Timberline 1 since it came out in 2012. I LOVE this pack. Simple, light, and does everything I need. I always resisted the urge to go the Duplex route because it came with a LARGE weight gain. Then they came out with the new Duplex, now the ultralight. Now I'm tempted. Still going to be a weight gain, but...My question is this. Does anyone out there have experience packing serious weight in the internal T1 and one of the newer Duplexes. I can gain a few ounces, and drop the money, if I'm going to gain a SIGNIFICANT amount of comfort. I've packed out a bunch of animals on my T1, and can't imagine something being much more comfortable, but they quit making them, soooo...any experience with BOTH would be great, or if anyone knows Aron's take on this since I believe the T1 was kind of his baby. Thanks.
