camera w/ lens + 2 lens bag like Case Logic SLRC-202

When I first got my T3i, I bought a Case Logic SLRC-202 camera bag. It was perfect for my T3i with kit lens mounted hanging in the center section, and a nifty-250 and other random lens in the two outside compartments.

I'd like to have something similar, but scaled up another 30% or 50% for my T3i with 17-55 mounted, with a 100-400 in one side compartment and the other compartment big enough for something similar (say a couple smaller lenses stacked).

I've scoured this forum and on-line sites looking for a "bigger" SLRC-202. The Case Logic SLRC-203 doesn't seem quite big enough, especially since the side compartments do not seem to have the nice cylindrical shape they do on the 202 - they seem to taper in at the bottom.

I'm specifically interested in something that has separate (zippered) compartments for the main camera+lens combo and each spare lens. I'm not looking for something like a Domke F-3X or Lowepro Classified where there is one big main compartment with dividers. I also like the camera-body suspension system the Case Logic 202 has, and the sturdy bottom.

The USA Gear Deluxe dSLR Zoom Bag is similar to the 203, I think - still not big enough.

Is my google-fu not working, or does what I'm looking for simply not exist, per se?

Bump. No-one has any comments? Or is it just that no-one knows of anything that meets my (unique?) criteria, and therefore has nothing to offer up?

Even a "You're crazy, the bag you want doesn't exist, because you're the only one who seems to want that bizarre configuration" reply would be fine.

The issue is outside the case-logic range I haven't seen any other bags with the zippered side pockets. The other issue with a shoulder style bag is the length of the 100-400, it's normally carried in a back pack or sling style bag which are longer.

Another option is to go for a lowepro bag with "slip lock" loops and then hang slip lock lens cases (which are zippered) off them, the classifieds and the apex ranges have slip-lock loops but there are many more in the lowepro range with them.

OK, fair enough. I had seriously considered the add-on individual lens cases, as you've shown. I just really liked that particular Case Logic configuration, and figured someone must have scaled it up...

I've been using a Lowepro 102 sling as a substitute when I only want a body and a couple of lenses (one large at least, with one mounted), and it is sufficient. e.g. the T3i with 100-400 mounted can fit in the lower compartment length-wise, and an extra lens can be stashed into the top compartment. Perhaps it is enough for now...
