Definitely have to agree with you on this. I know the other ones are fancier, but Canyon to me has been plain and simple, like a dog that you've had for a long time, reliable and loyal. My Canyon bag is beat to crap, and the plastic part is almost falling out of the canvas on the bottome where it has been worn and taken abuse time after time in the pounding surf and rocks.
I have to get a new bag soon, most likely it will be a Canyon. I'll be sad to retire the old bag. It hasnt let me down in good times and bad.
