Have you looked at Kifaru? They are made by Patrick Smith (of mountainsmith fame) and seemed to get good reviews. I'm looking to replace my current mountainsmith with a Kifaru Express. I would look real hard at a mountaineering pack before purchasing anyting. Afterall, it will be on your back for years and years (I had mine for 10 years and use it a couple times a month) and you want comfort. I like Patrick designs because like you I have a long torso and they fit. Additionally being big (270#) I hardly know the pack is on my back. Check military morons for their reviews of some military/civilian packs.
