Actually, the Lowepro Pro Trekker AWII is almost identical in
internal size, the Super Trekker is quite a bit larger still and
seems like you could carry a small army in it.

Tamrac Expedition 8 internal size: 11"W x 6.25"D x 20.5"H

Lowepro Pro Trekker internal size: 12"W x 6"D x 20.5"H
Lowepro Super Trekker internal size: 14.5"W x 6.5"D x 25.5"H

Both  the trekker and expedition look great, with nice full harnesses.
