I'm going to comment on my own comment above -- I was in my favorite local luggage store this morning. They sell more B&R than anything else. I asked them about Pathfinder, since a few years ago they carried a lot of Path but I didn't see any out on display. She said that in the last few years they've pretty much quit carrying it - that they felt that Pathfinder had priced themselves up to to the point where her clients were saying, "Hey, at that price I'd rather pay a few bucks more for the B&R." I pass it along. I'm certainly happy with the great value and quality I got from Pathfinder in the past, but perhaps it's not the case anymore.
