Just an update.

I opted to get the Fatboy and I love it.

Still playing around with the internal configuation of what goes where based on need, and still carrying both nite-ize pouches (I like my Leatherman and a source of light attached to my body for when the Fatboy's across the room, or locked up at work).

I've gotten mixed feedback from the folks on the street.

But being the neighborhood oddball gives me a lot of freedom.

Thanks for all the feedback.

Did you go with the Fatboy or the Jumbo Fatboy?

I got the Regular Fatboy for right-hand carry.

It's big enough to carry what I want (except a little water bottle so I'm looking at one of the little roly-poly's).

Plus the temptation of the Jumbo would be too great for me as stuff tends to multiply to fill up any available space, and I probably carry too much stuff anyway.

I found that using little zipper pouches to organize things works really well because digging around in the main compartment is a little tight.
