Keep the good information coming, and we can make this sort of a resource thread, which I will bookmark for future reference. I'll add some links later on to bag makers' sites to round this out.
glad you liked it and good way to describe it. i guess it is a hybrid bag of sorts. i have the reflective strap as well. you may want to pick up some of these and or maybe some of the key straps. each bihn bag has hooks inside you can clip these to if you want to organize more:

i guess it depends on how many small things you put in the bag. i like bags so i switch out a lot depending on what i am doing. the little organizer pouches make it easy to just swap certain things. like in one i keep a few extra contact lenses for each eye and spare batteries for my surefire e2L. in another i keep a deck of plastic kem cards. in another i always keep a few charged aa and aaa eneloop batteries, etc...
i keep a large padded one in the main compartment for stuff like chargers.
