Miura: Perfect With Two Improvements

Arc'teryx is my favorite outdoor brand. I own way too many of their jackets, love their shorts (especially the Rampart), and use their chalk bags.
Regarding the Miura: I like it, but not like my jackets.
The Miura is comfortable during the hike to your favorite wall. It will carry most of your gear. However, I would like two improvements: 1) the long zippered compartment running up the front should be organized like the zippered compartment on the Black Diamond Hollowpoint--lots of separate small storage pockets (sometimes you need to be able to organize your knife, lip balm, headlamp, gum, camera, keys, and other small essentials); 2) a base that allows the pack to actually stand upright without falling over.
Other than these two improvements. The pack ROCKS and looks great.
