I can't help much here other than agree with Dalabos that I've heard Columbia bags are not too great. A couple of my friends have Columbia Bags and they have problems with both the handles on them as well as the stitching coming loose.

Most people where I live have mostly KR and Storm bags with a few Brunswicks here and there, but not many Brunswicks because you pay extra for the Brunswick name. Storm has heavier material and both heavier and more stitching than most other bags. Also ample storage. I have had such good luck with Storm bags, that I guess I am partial to Storm. However, KR does have good bags also. I don't know specifically who all they make bags for, but the bags they make for each company is made to that company's specs. That's why KR, Brunswick and Storm have better bags because they require top line specs.
