Briefcases, Bags, and the Murse

Hey Mike, what was that smaller bag you carry of the EDC variety?  I remember seeing it on a couple of trips to Florida but never noted the brand.  Kind of large book sized insert maybe?

Typically, I use a Goruck GR1 or Vertx EDC Courier.  I don't remember what I had in Tampa at Hunahpus Day.  I have sold some bags since then so not sure what else I may have had at that time.

I was looking at these, and I realized I finally figured out exactly what I want -- I want a vertical messenger bag that can also work as a backpack (I.E. with backpack handles)...or a backpack that also has a handle on top (for the short, briefcase carries), and a strap (as a proper messenger bag or satchel).

 

Something like this.  Is there anything that just stands out as the obvious choice, here?  Is Saddleback a good company, should I go ahead and just get that one?

 

(I've been having shoulder problems -- probably a barb or whatever they're called -- so carrying it satchel-wise for any distance at all is starting to become problematic, with a laptop, and two heavy books.  I didn't even bring the books in today.)

So it's looking like I'm going to have to travel at least a few times for work this year and as a result I'm reviving this thread and looking for some advice for a good carry-on bag.  My Red Oxx mini-ruk will serve "personal item" status quite nicely and I'm hoping to make all of these trips (which are all under 5 nights) without checking a bag.  

Thoughts? Suggestions?

[Edit] There's currently a screaming deal on Amazon on the Tumi Tegra-Lite Max Continental Expandable Carry-On but it seems that its dimensions, specifically the 16" width, do not conform to many major airline's definition of a carry-on (limit of 14").
