This thread proves it's what is right for you. We all have opinions.
I have a Balance and love it. My brother-in-law has the Knighthawk and loves his. One of the things I especially like about the Balance is the lack of a cumberbund. I hate cumberbund's. And I LOVE the weight pocket system and think it is superior. I do agree that I like the cam band on the Knighthawk is better. As to the don't have to wet it comment, I watched the tank sliding down my brother-in-law's back because he didn't wet the strap!
Buy what YOU LIKE best, can't go wrong with either choice IMHO.
