Wow, Brian. Thanks for this tip!
I have been out of town and I arrived home to find a nice package waiting for me. I opened it safely, because my wife was at work and she already thinks I have too many bags.
Like you, I was saving up for a Tom Bihn but when I saw the MLC for $72, I could not resist.
An MLC, plus two pairs of Ex Oficio underwear, all for less than $100? Wow, what a steal!
So far I like the MLC. Haven't gone anywhere with it but before unpacking from my last trip I moved my bundle pack from my e-bags convertible into the MLC. I like it because it is a little snugger fit. I think that the e-bag is maybe a little too large. Also, I like that the Patagonia bag feels a slight bit lighter and is slightly shorter and narrower. Overall, I am happy so far.

I just found this, I've been saving up for a couple Tom Bihn convertable bags, but with half off Patagonia MLC's I'm going that route ($72 per bag!!) Lots of other stuff that's fitting for travel.
Hope some others can get in on this discount... it's a good one. :D
Cheers!
Brian
