I was faced with a similar dilema. M4arc, After 4 years in the field, overseas, and around town, my Eagle A-III still looks great and hasn't failed yet. I liked it so well, that i now have one in OD and black as well as my FDE. I bought one for my son who just entered high school (and you all know how high-schoolers are about looking good and fashionable ) and haven't heard a single complaint from him. After 3 years of carrying literally 40 pounds of textbooks, the only problem has been a shoulder strap fraying a bit (thank god for Eagles lifetime warranty). Anyways, When doing the equivalent of LRRPs, having that eagle was way better than using the crap we got issued plus it had molle/pals everywhere and i could rig extra ammo, medical gear, and other crap on without wasting duck-tape or para-cord. Go for one and you won't be disapointed and you can also find some bitchin deals if you look around.
