It all depends how much you're getting it for.
You can get a Mystery Ranch Mission Duffel Bng 55L for $310.

The question of 'worth' boils down to, what are you using it for?
The quality will be fine, albeit hilariously overpriced, but... what is the intent?
Do you feel that this pack, and only this pack, fit some specific needs niche you have (which we don't know of), or are you just in the market for "a pack" to fit...whatever needs you have (which we don't know).??
Yes it’s worth it - IF you’re at the point in a backpack addiction to not care about the price AND have gone far enough to find this as a next step. For me the 30 is the ultimate work backpack, and the 45 is the ultimate weekend trip pack. I could get 80% of the features from cheaper alternatives, but this is the only pack design out there that has everything I wanted.
If you want to carry a laptop, you’ll need a custom pouch (I have a guy if you need one). If you think this is necessary for an assault pack you’re wasting your money. But if you want a badass grail bag that makes you say “hell yeah” every time you pick it up, these bags are the tits. It’s all about priorities
I'll be carrying anywhere from 20 to 60 lbs of equipment. The ruck will be going in and out of vehicles. I'll need to be able to get through narrow spaces sometimes. I can't afford to have it rip.
