$270 for a LW bag, plus a refurb for $180-$200... you might as well have gotten the B&R with the lifetime guarantee. Plus, the quality of the LW has gone down lately, IMO. I had mine refurbed a couple of years ago, and the nylon is fraying, and there is only two zipper pulls left.

I also bought a StrongBag, bug I was so frustrated with it, I've ditched it in favor of the B&R.

Again, this is my $0.02... YMMV...
