I have been holding out for a spire myself. I saw one at a training class and they are built great and probably the most comfortable of backpack type bags that you can buy.
Works great when you cram a bunch of books in every day. I currently have a IBM/TCM bag free with my laptop which works great (from California to the UK) but I'm only using it because it was free. The spire has better designed pockets and clips and can be compressed when there is less gear.
Spend the money and get the better one.
