Crumpler bags - worth the $$? Big enough?

I'm really liking the looks of the Crumpler bags - especially the Million dollar home series. Are they constructed well enough to be worth the $$?

Also, I am accumulating a lot of gear and it all needs a home. I will be purchasing a 580EX in the near future to add, but I'm pretty well set with lenses. Would a 7 million dollar home be big enough?

I really love the idea of the slingshots too, but I think they would be too small right?

I have a Lowepro AW Nova 2 right now, but there's no way everything is fitting in there. :) It's great for the camera and 2-3 lenses, but that's it. It's just so heavy that I was thinking of trying a large crumpler bag instead of a large Nova... Other suggestions would be appreciated as well! Thanks!

I have the 6 Million Dollar bag and I love it. Its big enough to fit my 350+grip, 17-40, 70-200, 50 and hyperdrive or a future flash. The best part is that it is inconspicuous, great for walking around the city.

You might want to also look at the Lowepro Stealth Reporter bags.

I have the 7MDH and I the construction of the bag is top notch. I find it more of a cool fashion statement then a camera bag though. It's more suitable for walking around without screaming "steal me." You can fit all your gear in there but for practical purposes I don't think it's the right bag for you.

I have a Nova 3 and there are many features in that bag I would love to have on the 7MDH (ie. divided pockets for memory cards and accesories, padded and zippered top flap, rain cover and zippered outer pockets).

Both are great bags but serve different purposes. For value I feel Lowepro offers more for the money. If you're looking for a home for all your gear then I would suggest looking at a backpack. Crumpler and Lowepro make great ones as well.

I have two reporters - the 200AW and the 400AW, they are very well made, but they do look like camera bags.
The Crumpler's look good for 'city' use and I nearly got one a few months ago, but just never got round to it.
