Hi!
A few days ago I bought a Marmot AirFlow Flex 65 lts. Backpack where I live, only to find out the day after that I could have bought a Lowe Alpine Contour 60+10 for only a few more $ (lets say the equivalent to 40 U$ / I'm in Argentina).
I've been wanting to buy a good backpack and figured 65 is the perfect capacity for me (I'm a girl, and will travel for around 4 months).
Only with being a Lowe Alpine, the Contour sounds better. Plus, it has Torso Fit® APS® adjustable back, and the whole thing.

Marmot, on the other side, is a less known Brand but sounds quite good, I've seen people using the Flex 65 and it didn't look bad at all. And it has that "Air Flow" back.

Apart from that, sizes, design, pockets, and that stuff are/look similar.
What do you guys think?
I could easily sell my brand new Marmot on the internet, add the extra money and get the Lowe Alpine?
What would you do in my place?
Thanks for any help!
