Anyone have an opinion about the Kelty TC carriers versus Deuter Kangakid? Specifically, if either one fits long torsos better, that would be a selling point for me.

I'm answering my own question because I went ahead and tried the Deuter. Everything about it is great EXCEPT it just doesn't work well for long torsos. (A big 'except' for us.) We are 5'11" and 6'3" and we can't get the balance and weight distribution right, so it doesn't carry well for us. We're returning it and going to try our second choice, the kelty TC 2.1.
