You would be able to pick up a macpac ravine 2nd hand for that, comfortable, bullet proof and I have had a fair bit of weight in mine with no issues apart from bloody heavy(never should have pulled the trigger on that 2nd deer). Not quiet the 70L your after, mine is 65, heaps big enough for 5 days though.
Agree it is not an item to skimp money on, be a big pain trying to walk out with a broken strap on a pack, harness systems also matter regards comfort.
Get a pack too big and you will only take stuff you don't need/use, my 2 cents
Cheers
