Andi,
I'm now looking at the Pro Mag 2 AW, because it's more rectangular in
shape, so it will hold more cargo, and will be more stable when not in use.
Plus the 100-400 fits vertically in it while attached to the camera, which
is primarily what I wanted.
Thanks
Pierre
P.S. I don't think that this discussion is off-topic because it relates
directly to the easy, safe and efficient transport of my big and heavy
100-400 lens.
