REI Outlet has the Nimbus Latitude for $120. I'm still in search of that one really comfortable pack, so I figured I'd give this one a shot.

The Meridian is actually the pack I wanted. I should have bought one when Campmor had them for $130 about a month or so ago. Instead, I bought a Deuter, and then a Gregory, and then an Osprey. I didn't find any of them comfortable with 25 lbs., but I've heard nothing but great things about the Meridian suspension and padding.

Depends on your torso size. The small Aether fits up to a 18.5" torso. Here are the measurements for GG:

Nimbus Torso Lengths
Short Torso 14” to 18”
Regular Torso 18” to 22”

Hip Belt Sizing
Small 26"-30"
Medium 30"-34"
Large 34"-38"

Shoulder Strap Sizing
Small 26"- 34"
Medium 34"- 40"
Large 40"- 46"

I would probably order both and see which one fits better. Granite Gear will swap out the hip belt and shoulder straps free of charge.
