Think Tank Airport Security v2.0 or International v2.0

Ok folks, I'm needing a little guidance on which Think Tank Airport rolling bag to get. I'll be using this as my go-to bag for shooting weddings and events, as I have a smaller Kelly Moore classic bag I use during shoots. I will most likely not be traveling outside of the US (internationally) but I like the features of the International v2.0.
I've looked at the Security v2.0 and appreciate the fact that my 70-200 would be able to stand vertically in this rolling bag versus laying it down with the International. I have called myself looking several places to find a side-by-side comparison of both, but to no avail. I am wondering if the Security is noticeably bigger, as the specs say it's only one or two inches bigger in height and depth over the International.
This is most likely going to be my last camera bag purchase for a while, and I want to make it count, but I'm sooo indecisive! Just don't want to have any regrets!!!
HELP! Any suggestions?

Here's a list of what I'll be putting in it:5d mark iii, 7d body only, 50mm 1.2L, 24-70mm 2.8L, 16-35mm 2.8L, 70-200mm 2.8L, 100mm 2.8 macro, 580ex speedlight, 420ex speedlight, 4 lens hoods, 2 camera batteries, battery charger, 10-15 cf & sd cards, rocket blower, 3 pocket wizards, 3-5 filters, 32 AA batteries, camera manual, 1.6x extender, sunglasses, keys, phone, and small notebook

Anything???
C'mon and help this shutter-happy member before I pull the trigger on the Security!

i have the international. and i wish i had the security because I would like my 70-200 to be store vertically. one of the reason why I got the international is because I was travelling out of the country for a wedding gig. the question you need to ask yourself is, will you be travelling internationally. not oh i might, or just in case i do. that would determine which size fits you best.

@johnlo, thanks!
If I ever travel outside of the US, it wouldn't be for a photo shoot! I appreciate your help. I think I'll go with the Security.

I have the international v.2. In the center aisle of big plane for international flight I could not lay the bag flat (with handle facing out) as I could not close the bin door. I have to raise it up sideway in order to be able to close the door. (There was another bag beside mine and so I do not have space to put the bag side way (with handle facing right) into the bin.

I went through the same issue. If airline travel is a priority, the security is, in my opinion, too large and heavy. If it is your go to bag for moving your gear or storing your gear in a local area, then get the security. It is larger and more convenient. I got the security and never used it for airline travel for above reasons, so I sold it.

Cheers, Steve

Awesome.... thanks guys! I pulled the trigger on the Security! Now just waiting on big brown!

Once you get it, tell us how you like it and how you configure your gear.

I have the International V2.0 and it's packed solid with:

- 2x 5D3's with battery grips,
- 70-200 f/2.8 IS II
- 24-70 f/2.8
- 50 f/1.4
- 28 f/1.8
- 85 f/1.8
- 1.4x II
- 3x 600EX-RT's
- 2x Speedlite battery Packs
- ST-E3 RT
- Hoods for all
- Other accessories like CF cards, batteries, cables, etc.
- 5 Think Tank Photo Skin pouches and 1 Pro Speedbelt.

I can also swap out the flash gear for a 300 f/2.8 IS with hood.

While the bag is loaded to the gills, I have a hard time moving up to the Security V2.0. While the extra volume would be great, the physical size difference between the two rollers is noticeable. When I am flying to an assignment, I cannot afford to have my luggage gate checked (and potentially lost).

I have never had a flight attendant or TSA personnel look twice at my International roller, even on the smallest city hopper flights.

I also want to add that I do not work out of my roller. I use it for transportation and storage to 95% of my assignments. From there, I either use my belt pouches (events, weddings, sports, news stories) or my Retrospective 30 (personal, travel, concerts).

Great choice you will love the AS. I also have the Airport Takeoff for travel on planes but other 95% of the time everything is in the AS.

AirPort Takeoff this is the kit I took to S Africa last year

You will also find TT doesn't skimp on dividers

You can say that again, I recently got an Airport Accelerator, great build and LOADS of dividers.

I now need a bag for all my spare dividers.
