the new crumpler 7 million dollar home bag

[dennisatmph]

Hi friends,

I would love to get a new bag above.
I wanted to know if you know what is the difference between the new and the old one, and which one do would you buy.

I could get the old one for 100 dollars and the new one for 140 dolllars. Would you pay the extra 40 dollars for the new bag and why ?

Thanks for sharing with me your insight.

at least one difference is that the new one has two buckles and the old one has one. two is more secure and keeps the sides down, but obviously a bit more difficult to get in and out of.

But quieter.
The old one has a large Velcro section which makes a lot of noise if you're trying to get in the bag discretely

I often rely on the Velcro for quick closure... Though two buckles would be nice.

Don't know about the new 7MDH but I have the new 6MDH. The only real differences are the two clip closure versus one clip, it has the velcro "silencers", and the shoulder strap is no longer a removeable one. I chose the 6 over the 7 because I just wanted a small compact bag and the 7 is a lot bigger than the 6. For me the 6 is perfect but if I ever need a bigger bag the 7 is what I'll get. YMMV :)
