Not sure how i missed your pics, but they explain everything. I just wrote this, but it still applies to the MEI bag,
Are we all talking about the same size bag? My link is to the new model, 'MEI "Voyageur" pack (pictured above), which is 22 × 14 × 9 inches (maximum permitted carryon size)'.
My 7X17 Korona is 21.5" wide at the rear tilt knobs. That's a close fit, especially if I want some padding for those rather delicate knobs and the shafts that carry them.
I don't see how an 8X20 would fit in the new carry-on design.
Perhaps that's why Jim says we need to find old ones on eBay?
Room for padding is why i am leaning towards the canoe pack bags.

Randy, one of my bags came from a mentor of mine, Gordon Chapple. I use it for my 11 x 14 just as Gordon did before he tragically lost his life. I think it may be called Explorer and it is big enough for my 8 x 20 as well. The two additional bags that I have I can't honestly remember where I got them from. The bay most likely. My 8 x 20 is a tight fit plus I have padding in the bag. The do not have any model designations on the bag so I can't even tell by looking at it what model it is. All I know is they are great bags. No extra fluff and the suspension is great.
Hi Jim,
Do your packs look like this:

I just bought it. The size seems perfect for the 8x20, but even if it is too small, this should make a good travel duffel, which I do not have.
Bryan, yes that looks like one of the bags. Hell of a deal.
I'll try to take some picks of the one I use for my 8 x 20 and post it.
