Seems to me you're paying too much for the propriety camo patterns and not for a quality pack when it comes to the Sitka line. 
Would getting it 50% off make it more appealing? $225?
it would make it approximately 50% more appealing.
50% of 0 = ...
Look, I've been in your shoes. You don't want to justify spending the money on a pack. But that Sitka is trash.
If money is the issue, buy a KUIU ultra, or find a used Bora 80/90 (150$?).
But buying gear for the backcountry based on what's on sale is a mistake IMO.
