Osprey Sirrus 36 Pack - Women's vs Osprey Stratos 34

I've had this pack for a year and it's done a dozen 1-3 night backpacking trips with me. This bag certainly will get the job done, but it seems to be missing a few of the finer details. Though, perhaps that's expected in this price point. In all, I would summarize with:
