And as to the extra bottles - have you considered using a Camelbak? That's four bottles' worth of water right there and less "stuff" that should appeal to your minimalism.
The renegades are nice too. Only potential issue I can see is the max 40mm with the renegade elite. The exploit can do 700x42s or 650x47mm. Not sure how I feel about smaller tires like 40's or 42s. Maybe another potential test ride opportunity.
Not sure if I would like a Camelback. This is something I could test though. A buddy has a few of them and has offered to let me try it. Guess that is a win win.
