Another Bag question

I have just sold a Tamrac 5587 Expedition 7X which I purchased in error. The capacity of the bag was just perfect but, the backpack harness was just so bulky as to make the bag a little unattractive and cumbersome. I did email Tamrac and suggest they consider a removable harness and they forwarded my communication to their development department.
I noticed that there is another 'Bag' thread here on TP and the guy is having problems making a choice. My local camera shops have a very limited stock of bags, which doesn't help at all. It is quite difficult too trying to choose from the internet so I am wondering if anyone out there can make a recommendation as to what I should get.
My kit consists of a Canon 7D, Canon 100-400 F4.5-5.6 L,
Canon 70-200 F2.8L, Canon 28-70 F2.8L and a Tamron 17-35 F2.8-4. I expect that I will most likely add a flash at some point too. I quite fancy the type that can sling over your shoulder as opposed to a backpack. I do not require space for a notebook/laptop.
Thanks in advance of any suggestions from anyone with a similar set up to mine.
 
I have a slingshot 200 aw and it can fit my 50d with 70-200 F4L (just), my 580 ex mk1 and there is room for another couple of smaller lenses. It would not fit the items you have mentioned above but maybe the slingshot 300 would do the job for you. It is a very comfortable bag though and has the top part for other items, food etc whatever you want really.
 
Between Jessops and the Devon Camera Centre (OK, both in Exeter rather than East Budleigh but still local to you) there seems to be a wide range of bags to choose from
and if you spread your wings a little further (to Brixham), you get Mifsuds as well to broaden your choice even more.
 
Been into Devon Camera and London Camera, wasn't too impressed when I went in recently. haven't tried Jessops nor Mifsuds so if I don't get fixed up maybe I will give them a try. I would like to get something before the weekend if I can as am orf to Cornwall for a break. Maybe I'll find something down there eh!

Went into Jessops today.....rubbish, absolutely zilltch in stock, tried LCE again, nothing there, went to Devon Camera again to but didn't do any good. Anyone got any experience of a Lowepro Magnum AW or a Lowepro Commercial AW?
