I ended up getting an Osprey Aether 60.

I really really liked the suspension on the Deuter, far better than the Osprey, but the Osprey has a no questions asked Lifetime warranty. Whether it is 5 days old, 5yrs or 50 yrs, they will repair it or replace it. Buckles, straps, tears, doesn't matter, they fix it. They were the same price,warranty sealed the deal. The Osprey also had the moldable waist belt pads. It would have taken an extra 20 minutes for them to mold them, but he said they will mold on their own as I wear it, so no worries. Very nice addition to the bag.
I had narrowed it down to two models based on my wants. Had to have waist belt pockets. Had to have more than one access to the main pouch. Had to have attachment points on the top and bottom. And a convertible lid was optional. The Osprey and Deuter Aircontact series had all of those things. I think the Deuter was a higher quality build just by looking them over, but if this one fails, gets fixed for free!
Thanks for the tip!

On a side note, she tried to show a garbage North Face pack. Cheaply made, cost as much as the others, and nothing special except the fancy iron on North Face badge. Can't believe anyone would actually buy one of those packs. The Gregory series were really nice, but twice the cost and they didn't have my size anyway.
