I considered that. My actual bag combination wouldn't work but that could be fixed

But it just seems pointless. Why carry a big backpack if it's just going to go in the same overhead bin? And I have to pull stuff out to have with my at my seat anyways.

Basically I want to replace the backpack with a lightweight bag that's either a large sling or small bag. I happen to own a Pacsafe ls200 and a similar even lighter Victorinox bag. I often wish I had one of those on the trip and they would be practical to have at my seat.

I just need to offload a bit more into the rollaboard including the laptop...
