Anyone tried Kata PB-48 or SB-902?

In my apparently endless search for the perfect camera bag, I've decided I need at least two current ones: one that will cope with my 100-400 and all the other kit, and allow me access to the 10D + 1-4 easily (so I have bought a Slingshot 300AW and like the look of that so far) and the other bag is for times when I decide to leave the 1-4 at home but still want to take the 10D + 17-40 + 50 + 85 and maybe the flash and a few bits. In other words, for family parties, indoor events, general sightseeing when I want to travel light. The point of this small bag is that it must be light, not bulky, give quick access to the camera plus attached 17-40 (since that's my walkaround lens) and not look too geeky. Not a backpack either. So I've researched and researched and the bags I'm most interested in are the Kata PB-48 and the Kata SB-902. I can't find any reviews of them. Details are here:

They both look to be well made and appropriately sized. They are a bit geeky looking but fairly discreet.

Has anyone actually seen them in real life or even own one?

Thanks

I came to the conclusion years ago that the perfect camera bag is actually the perfect camera bags. It takes several bags to do everything you want a bag to do.
