Have you had a chance to look at them in person?
When I bought my rucksack I had a choice between the Kajka 75 and the Karrimor Sabre 45 + Side Pockets.
The Kajka 75 came in at just over 3 kilos, which is a bit heavy. The adjustment system seemed very good and the materials were superb. The pack has A LOT of cool and fiddly features, which you might and might not use. It also cost in the store in Estonia about 250. Easier to pack, since it's front opening. The top lid can be used as a daypack, there's a bottom storage area for drying clothes on the move and so forth. Look at the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQgUfY0fSRs
I chose the Karrimor because it's lighter, cheaper, has less fiddly bits and seems more robust, even though the actual fabric on the Kajka seemed stronger. I put my faith in Karrimor blindly, since I couldn't see it before I bought it. Very satisfied.
Also read that the Kajka starts squeaking in rain, and that put me off almost immediately. I like to be quiet.

They got pretty bad reviews at utsidan.se, swedish outdoor community. The longetivity of seams and fabric and weight were common disappointments.
There are two formal reviews at http://www.utsidan.se/reviews/viewreviews.htm?ID=3113 . Use google translate if you like. There were more comments on the board.
