Follow up advice needed on “comfortable” shoulder straps on for premium bags

Yesterday I posted a question regarding my Ablecarry Max EDC as the shoulder straps were not comfortable. https://www.reddit.com/r/ManyBaggers/s/IMpvY1zdx3

So I’m back on my research for THE bag for me. The Ablecarry Max EDC straps are too structured for me. The padding is thick but a little hard. I haven’t had the chance to try other premium bags so my question to the community is how are the should straps of the following in comparison to the Max EDC:

- Aer Travel Pack 4
- Fyro Levo 30L
- Evergoods CPL 28L
- Rework Outbound 30L
- Bellroy work pack Pro 28L

All of these bags above seem to have thicker straps and I wanted to ask the community how it holds up with heavier loads as my EDC is an office/gym loadout including shoes and laptop along with a few things that really filled up my Max EDC.

I welcome other suggestions too! And appreciate the feedback.
