If you want to spend more, or less, then there is a bag for everyone. FAQs How do I choose a golf bag? In terms of balance I had the 2016 4up model and agree then bag felt a bit base heavy when carrying plus the padding on the straps was thin and not the most comfortable. The 2018 4up the straps slide and this gives a far better balance point for this lightweight bag and makes it far more comfortable over a round to carry. With a slightly smaller overall footprint than the FlexTech Crossover, the FlexTech stand bag offers much of the same great storage, just with a more common 5-way top rather than the 14-way top of the Crossover model.

Someone asked if this is SM 2.5 killer. I don't know. IMO, SM has always been my go-to for bags. I don't own a 2.5 but they seem very well made. Time will tell with the K1 LO.
