The Arkel also includes a sturdy map case which is important to me because I rely heavily on paper maps when I tour. The Arkel is more money than I ideally wanted to spend but for once I didn't settle for the less expensive option only to go back later and buy the more expensive one.
Sounds like a good decision to me. Let us know how it works out for you.
