Default Pack reccomendations

Hello I plan on backpacking Europe this summer. First time backpacker, but I spent some time in the service so I know what it is like to haul gear.

Generally, I am a big guy (back measured and I can fit bigger medium packs or a smaller large pack). I also tend to pack a lot, so I was thinking of going bigger than 60 liters.

I tried on an Osprey Aether 63 and it was one sweet ruck - the shop also customizes it to your back which is super sweet. Also I am thinking of a MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op) pack.

Basically I am wondering if anyone has experience with the Osprey Aether packs? Or with MEC packs?

I would like to grab the 70L Aether pack, but it runs about $300+ which is fairly steep. Any suggestions?
Thanks
