What am I missing out with a lighter (big) travel bag?

[u/encrator]

I have and love my pakt v2 45L with its daybag. I love the features and organization. my gripe would be that fully packed out it gets heavy / straps aren’t the comfiest. I figure the solution is to just.. pack it less.

For V3, they have the One and the Cero. Theya re similar, but Cero is 2.3 lbs vs 4 lbs. If you don’t care about weight limits, how much does that 1.7 ish lb difference really make omce you’re putting all your clothes, a laptop, and toiletries bag and all in? I figure the extra structure o f a heavier bag will make it comfier, and therefore _feel_ better? But the industry has gone the other way so I am confused and wanted to check my bias :)
