Good question. I currently only have one Maxpedition pouch, Fatty, but just got it and haven't packed it out yet. It does have the same layout as the all good pouch but is much larger. As for quality, both seem well made, I do like the small amount of padding in the all good pouch and the zippered pocket on the inside, don't believe the smaller Maxpedition pouches have that option. I have a few viperade pouches that I like, but I would say the all good pouch is better quality, but not sure it is double the price better. This pouch fit a need for me, and I might buy another. What I have seen from viperade and the Maxpedition pouch, I have no issue buying those either. I probably didn't answer your question well, but since I generally lean toward budget friendly gear it is difficult for me to say it is that much better.
