I have molle packs too (backpacks are my other obsession), but I ended up hanging all these cool pockets off of them that it seemed kind of silly. I took some advice from one of my close "experienced" friends and opted for a larger 3100ci pack that fit all of my gear and a bladder without the pockets that I ended up getting hung up on branches and other gear. Eagle stuff is sometimes viewed as being dated, but I don't think that's a bad thing in this case.
