Are the compression straps on the Vulcan useful?

I'm thinking of getting a Vulcan or a Crusader but since I will use it for weekend trips as well as longer hikes I want to have compression straps so i can keep the content of the pack close to my back. Hence my question...
 
I started looking into getting a Vulcan a while ago, then found that they are discontinued. I need the size 4 and it's is proving difficult to get hold of one in the UK. There is a Dutch site, xmilitarystore.com, selling them at a good price - have any of you used this store?
I've used an army bergen before and basically want the same feel but with a better waist belt, something that the bergen doesn't provide.
Thanks for any replies,
Feugh.

there's been quite a few up on bushcraft trade groups on facebook recently such as bushcraft tradepost uk. I know a fella who was selling a size 4 I can put you on touch
