I agree with your other advice, but with a Reload, you're talking $90 for the "courier" model vs. $165 for the "deluxe" (which has several other upgrades) or $30 for just adding the pockets to the base model courier. I think the extra cost is
totally justified in terms of the extra work and materials involved, and there's no denying the usefulness for a lot of people. I just didn't need those pockets and I didn't feel like paying for them. I have no regrets.
That's the great thing about going with a custom maker though. If you DO need special features you can get them.
