Aeris Oceans 5 still available at my LDS - buy?

[Austincreek]

Just an update: I looked at more stuff this afternoon, including BPW. For the time being, I am not going the BPW yet. It's more of a feeling and comfort decision, but it feels too technical. I'm an engineer, and I am fascinated by the customization of it, but I decided it is not time yet.

After looking at more back inflate today, there is one that I lean towards: Tusa X Wing.

thoughts appreciated.

Basically, the same as the Aeris, except more expensive.

Back-inflate
LOTS of padding
Weight-integrated
Even has a large mesh pocket like the Aeris

It does have a couple of rear trim pockets, and a couple shoulder D-tings. And, if you can fit into a S or M size, you get a reasonably sized 29lb wing, instead of a 40lb wing

Of the two, I would go for the Aeris, simply on the basis of cost.
