I swore I would never start a bag thread

So here is the very concise question as to not make this pain last any longer then humanly possible.

Was in NYC, car got broken into, chrome citizen got stolen. Now I need a new bag. The citizen was too small the chrome Metropolis seems a little small for what I want.

What I carry: Groceries; Laptop, external HDD, Digi Mbox, Microphones, 100' Cable; cloths, small tool roll.

I was thinking the Bailey Pro XXL but maybe thats just too damn big, I'm 6', 42" chest (yeah what! I'm skinny).

So here is the question, XXL too big? if it is I am going right for the XL. I don't care about any other bags but these two, any input?

I don't believe the words 'too big' can apply to a bag.

Then again, I get made fun of a lot.

Bikes: a road bike, a cross bike, and a track bike

it's a toss-up. i've been using the medium bailey for books, laptop, tool roll, and some clothes, but toss some groceries on top and it's all over....i think the real question here between the xl and the xxl is: when you've gotten all that crap oughtta your bag, are you gonna need the space for that extra 20 beers? (i know i do)

MERTON - didn't you buy the largest Chrome possible and then complain it kept getting caught in your riding lawnmower or some shiit like that?

There's pictures of a medium Baileyworks SuperPro in this thread. I think the L & XL are the same thing just.. bigger.
