I don't currently have the waist belt but will be adding it in the near future (my bag came with the loop for the belt, not sure why).
If I decide to go with PAC, I'll definitely go with the X-strap. But the bag I'm looking at is the Deluxe which doesn't have the waist belt as an option. I don't use a U-lock either... got rid of that damned heavy obnoxious thing a long time ago.
BTW, the Timbuk2 Laptop Messenger Bag I got on ebay arrived today. Seems solid, although it's not made in the US like I had hoped. It was an older model so I thought it might be. Still, it should make for nice lightweight rides.
