Crumpler Bag Advice

Ok here is the list of what I have now that I commonly bring along with me:

20D (possibly replaced with a 1D MK2 or it's better within 6 months)
70-200 IS L 2.8
50mm 1.8
16-35 2.8 L in the foreseeable future
P-2000
Laptop w/15 inch screen
extra Canon battery
3 CF cards
580ex in the foreseeable future

What is the recommended bag from Crumpler to get in that case? The bags are quite expensive in comparison with just a back pack or even a camera bag so I really am not interested in throwing away money on a backpack.

    2nd vote for the Farmers Double. Good size for the gear, fits on a plane well and its water proof.

    No price difference between the two and the double body option in the Farmer's sounds good when/if I upgrade to whatever iteration of the Canon body is due out next. I will definately keep the 20D as my backup. My recent 20D blowup is a great learning example for me to have a second body on hand.

    My carry gear is almost the same as you listed. 10D with grip, 70-200mm, 17-40mm, 8mm, 1.4x tc, flash, and small extras. All of this gear and my 15" Thinkpad fit in the Karachi Outpost. The fitment for all of the gear is a bit tight but I haven't found the need for a larger pack. As a bonus I can carry my monopod in the side pocket. I don't typically carry this much gear when walking around, it's much too heavy for all day use.
