Thanks for all your responses. I'll try to answer then in one go...

Chris - thanks for your report on the 206. That's probably convinced me
to go for the 306. If you are considering something smaller, have you
seen the new Hadley Digital? http://www.billingham.co.uk/prodbuy.asp?id=199

Piers - I have bought quite a few things from Morco - I found them on
the web, and I didn't realise they were a "proper" shop. I had assumed
they were just a warehouse - not sure why. They were certainly on my
shortlist of places to buy the 306 from.

Andrew - I must admit I really like the satchel style too and my Hadley
Pro will still get a lot of use. It still amazes me how much kit I can
get in it.

John - I'm impressed with the service you received from Billingham. Most
of the reviews I have read on their bags say that they last well - and
then you can get them overhauled too!

Thanks again,

Mike.
