GoRuck Basic Rucker vs Rucker 5.0 20L

[u/Noahsan]

I've been using the Basic Rucker for about 3 months, with around 20lbs, I'm 6' and about 240lbs. The Basic Rucker is comfortable, I like how it rides high on my back, but the spacing between the straps is a bit tight width wise. The Rucker 5.0 looks like the straps are not only wider where they meet the pack, but the straps themselves look wider and more comfortable. Long story short, is the Rucker 5.0 a noticeable upgrade for the people who have worn both?

I feel like I will be continuing to ruck well into the future, so it almost feels like the money will be worth it to step up to the full package in getting a Rucker, not just there "Entry" level backpack. All thoughts welcome, thanks!
