Thanks...the Sojourn Porter 46 seems to be the update, although it seems to have somewhat limited availability.

Looks like it will pack better than the more traditional backpacks. It does have an external water bottle sleeve.

Packing cubes will be very helpful...

I'm torn between the Porter, the Farpoint 40 and the more technical backpacks, which may be a bit more comfortable to carry through airports...
