I would prefer to have a smaller one for those times when you don't need to carry a lot of extra stuff. The Kata BP-502 backpack is really appealing as an alternate to the CC-197 allowing you to carry other stuff.

That's why I was recommending the 195 for airline transport - those few inches really make a difference. I think I'll be fine on "some" flights with the 197, but certainly not all.
And I can neatly place my wide lens adapter, 2 wired lav's, 2 wireless systems, Sony pro headphones, shoulder mount, case for cards and adapters, cables, Anton-Bauer charger and spare battery, and my 13" Dell notebook in my case. Because of the rectangular shape, I can put almost as much in it as in the larger BP-502. I have them both here and tried them out. the 197 accommodates the viewfinder much better than the BP-502.
