Given that both Tioga and Trekker have sleeping bag compartments, what is the volume of each bag compartment? Do the volume measurements for each pack include the volume of the bag compartment? How much volume wd a sleeping bag take? Also, Jeff (below) said that Trekker is more versatile - in what way? If you can say, what wd each pack be more suitable for when you compare the two?

Rob - The volume of each pack includes the sleeping bag compartment. How much volume the sleeping bag takes up really depends on if the bag is synthetic or down, mummy or rectangular. A synthetic bag is going to take a lot more space in your pack than a down bag. The Tioga weighs just a few more ounces than the Trekker. I don't want to speak for Jeff, but the Trekker may be more versatile in that you could lash a pad or other gear under the pack bag and it has more exterior pockets than the Tioga. Basically it comes down to how much gear you want to haul into the backcounty. The packs will fit and perform same. Hope this helps!
