I just bought an Aeronaut to start traveling, one-bag style. However I still need a smaller bag to carry some other miscellaneous items that I usually need for flying. When I had my backpack and checked luggage, a Medium Cafe Bag was enough. But now that I plan on leaving the backpack at home, I'm suddenly in need of a larger bag. I've narrowed down my choices to either the Imago or the Large Cafe Bag, but am having a hard time deciding. Has anybody used one or the other as a carry-on bag and care to share their experiences? I'm mainly curious about:
1) Does the bag fit under the seat in front of you?
2) How packable is the bag when empty?
3) What do you carry in it when using it as a carry-on?
For reference, whenever I go flying I have the following in my Medium Cafe Bag:
1 large Cavallini notebook (think Moleskine, but better paper quality).
3 pens
1 pill/vitamin box
1 passport/ticket holder
1 spiral reporter notepad
1 DSLR + lens
1 paperback novel
1 cell phone (also serves as P&S camera and MP3 player)
1 set headphones
