The 55L is quite large. The 70L is fine if you like the look of both pieces matching but you can always use a different 15L backpack.
The Osprey farpoint generally is great for carrying a lot of weight as it's very adjustable and cushioned really well with back vents and thick hip pads.
That being said for clothes and light weight things you can easily go with a lighter and less rugged backpack.
I think this backpack is more useful for those backpacking through Europe and want to carry everything with them all the time or if you plan to do lot of airport walking.

I would think the 55L for sale without be just that without the daypack included but doesn't seem the case, so is it better to get the 55L or 70L in your opinion?
55 liter straight can carry on while 70L can detach... dilemma right now.. only a few bucks more but is it more practical? Pls help

yes, and also the caveat on anything larger than the 40L is that there is no side-zippered laptop pocket because they assume you will be stashing your laptop/tablet in the attached daypack. The 40L has the convenient suspended laptop pocket along the back.
The 40L really is the sweet spot. I recently stress-tested my 40L (from BF 2025 @ $92) before my trip and was able to get roughly 2 weeks worth of clothes in there using packing cubes + interior compression straps and still had room left over.
Even with a 14" laptop and tablet in there it didn't feel like too much carry on one's back.

Hows the padding for the side of the sleeve which makes contact to your back?
Because from what I recall, the first year they revised their pack to where the laptop was held (to your back) the padding wasn't stiff or anything close to being preventative to to potentially cracking from flexing if your pack is max stuffed and the curvature of your shoulders and back to the laptop.
But stiff backing adds weight.

Great video comparing the 40L and 55L.
Also, these are truly amazing backpacks and the lifetime warranty is awesome, as it covers almost all functional damage, and they often honor it even if it's accidental.
