Manfrotto Tripod Bag

I've recently bought a Manfrotto 190XPROB Tripod with 804RC2 head. I now want to buy a padded Manfrotto bag for it but unsure if I should get the MBAG70P or the MBAG80P. Any suggestions as to which would be the best fit for my tripod with head attached?

I have that setup and the MBAG80P just fits...you have to tilt the head slightly but it works fine.

Thanks mate. Just waht I was looking for. I thought the 80 would be the one to go for however, a bloke in a camera shop told me that the 70 would be the one to go for. I was not convinced! The 80 it will be :-)

Pro-tip: wear the bag upside-down so you can swing it infront of you and pull the tripod out without taking the bag off

Is it worth getting the carry strap to clip onto the tripod itself rather than carrying the bag around all the time?

No idea I'm afraid, I was in a hurry when I got mine; depends whether you're talking walking holiday or day-out I guess.

Thanks for the advice. Will probably get both for the flexibility :-)
