lowepro flipside 400AW users

[Sfordphoto]

Hi, I am considering a backpack because my single shoulder strapped Lowepro 4AW is a bit uncomfortable to carry around for extended amounts of time, and also cannot fit my 70-200 f/2.8 IS on camera.

I was originally debating between the flipside 300 and the fastpack 350, until i stumbled across the flipside 400AW.

You can check out my current kit in my gear list, but I think that my eventual kit is going to change. The purpose of this thread is to get pics of peoples gear inside their Flipside 400AW so I can see better what it can fit.

Here is what I'm looking to fit, once I complete my dream kit :D

5Dmk2 body
40D body
24-70 f/2.8L
70-200 f/2.8L IS
35L
50/1.4
85L II
135L
and a couple flashes

I guesss my main question is, can the 24-70 and the other primes (esp the 135L) fit straight inside the lens holders flanking the center compartment (without adjusting the default configuration)? Also can you fit them in with the lens hoods reversed?

Any input or pictures are appreciated.

My best advice in a case like this is to just buy the bag, say from amazon or anywhere else you can return it, and try these types of gear configurations for yourself. I have owned the bag, liked it a lot, but it was too large for my average uses and I wanted to put that $150 elsewhere. I didnt take any pictures of it full I dont think though.
