XD Design Bobby Hero Regular anti-theft backpack vs Osprey Farpoint 40 travel backpack

Is the bag mainly for city daily carry in crowded places, or as the main bag for a whole trip?

These serve different roles more than they compete directly — one is a daily-carry bag with specific anti-theft construction, the other a full trip's main travel backpack with a suitcase-style opening.
