There was a long discussion a couple of years ago, either here, or on Solotripping, or on Canadian Canoe Routes about whether tump lines were a good or bad thing. There were strong opinions on both sides, and some concern on the "con" side that putting significant stress on your neck vertebrae might have bad consequences in the long term. You might want to dig up that thread before deciding whether a tump line is a deal breaker or not.

I would recommend against Duluth Packs....unless you like the retro look and feel of canvass, leather, and weight. 
Oops, my bad. I hadn't realized they still sold leather and canvas packs, and was using "Duluth" to refer to the shape and overall design, not the materials. Prouboy is quite correct here.
