Thanks man.  Hopefully this is useful for someone in the future.

With that said I've been keeping my eye out for an icon pro suspension for sale that I can strap an ultra bag to...seems like it would be the best of both worlds..definitely do not see the need for the "beefed up" bag of the icon pro

 I would keep the ultra suspension for trips I'm nit going to be packing 40+ pounds regularly, which is majority of my outings

 :yeah:   And pickup an 1850 bag for $60 during sale days and use that for your day hunts.  Like my ultra but would enjoy more padding on the waist belt for heavy loads.

I agree with everything said. I ran a 3000 ultra on the icon pro suspension and loved it. 4 days was really pushing it though and when I bought the 3000 bag and sold the 5200 I thought I could squeeze 5 days out of it and I wished I had the 6000 instead, but the 3000 was perfect for my normal day pack stuff. I did end up giving the pack to my girlfriend as she was running a 1800 ultra and it wasn't nearly enough for an elk hunt we had coming up, but I had no issues with it.
