As a counter point, I have a rambler from 2014 and it looks like shit. Every zip has broken and it makes it very frustrating to use, this also is not covered by the MW warrenty apparently.
If I could go back in time I would still get a MW bag, but I would not buy an expanding one again. The zips are too fragile and difficult to repair to be in a loaded position but the rest of the material and quality is great.
Aye they're spendy. I bought a Black Camo Rambler in December 2018 for just over £300 from Condor and apart from a few frayed threads it still looks pretty much as new. Fantastic backpack.
