I have one of these too and like it quite a lot but you have to really know that you want a pack that big. It's probably quite light for the capacity and comfort level but it's still 3kg empty and it's a monster to dig around in if it hasn't got much stuff in it (i.e. you're a bit worried about falling in and not getting out. I sized mine based on the instructions on the Wilderness Equipment website and got a large, which fits perfectly (somewhat surprisingly as I'm not that tall at 178cm or ~5'10").
