After some research I decided on the Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home. After some search, I found that a local dealer of LowePro and Manfrotto had this model in stock. So I ordered the model number MD-07-01A which is dark brown outside and green inside.

 Build quality is very good and the internal dividers are thick and I think my stuff will be well protected. This appears to be the "low-profile" bag that I've been looking for all along: doesn't look like a camera bag at all and won't get notice with all my Limited and FA* glasses in it!

I put in my K10D with D-BG2 grip and the FA* 85/1.4 (without hood) in the middle section, the FA* 80-200/2.8 with front element facing down (hood reversely attached) on the right section, the 31 Limited and the AF540FGZ (with Omni-Bounce) on the left section. I also tried putting the body and the lens in the middle without the grip, while keeping the grip along with the 80-200/2.8 in the right side. This way the body could be put in more securely and I feel it's better protected that way. Here are the images:

When fully loaded the bag is still very comfortable on my shoulder. I think I finally found the right bag for myself. :)
