looking for a carry case recommendation

Well I'm looking to get a carry case shoulder bag for my camera. I want a slim shoulder bag that can take a K-X body with a 300mm lens attached (ideally) and space for at least one other, perhaps two lenses more. carrying the 55-300 I will also carry a 18-55 lens, a hood, some filters, spare batteries, spare SD card and card reader at a minimum.

What I want though is a bag that allows the body to go width ways across the bag, not crossways like some bags. I don't want the bag to be chunky, I want it thin as possible. I also want the bag to take the body with a lens attached so I can get the camera out and be shooting straight away.

Some of the crumplers seem good, but the range of names is just confusing the heck out of me, different names in different countries it seems.so what I've done is attach a picture of two of the sort of thing I mean.

ones I am considering, crumpler muffin top 4000, jimmy bo 500 or 600 (but I wonder if they stick out too much like some giant melon attached to your backside)

Well, this may get bumped to Field Accessories, but that shouldn't be too tall an order, there's even a Bag Reviews thread stuck near the top.

i used a crumpler 5 million dollar for my K200D gripped with 50-200,18-55 +50 and still had space for extras its a tiny bag.

I use a 6 million dollar now for a 7D w grip, 70-200/2.8, 24-70/2.8 + stigma 8-16 and that's cosy but weighs a ton.
