I'll never know why they change things that work just fine. 
My old pack has almost the perfect amount of room for the 
winter hiking I do (never needed more room) and weighs right 
at 3 lbs.  There were things I didn't necessarily like about 
it...so, hopefully the extra pound of the Z will change 
those things without changing the things I like about it 
(and, one of those is the 3 pounds!!)
