Platypus 100oz or three platypus softbottle water bottles?

While hiking the At in 10' i carried a reservoir and loved it. I drank substantially more water, It allowed me to carry mass, and it was easy to fill. That all being said I've noticed some of the 'greats' the hikers who have gone further than most drive using bottles rather than reservoirs and also had a friend who swore by them. Is there anything to this? Going with three soft bottles saves a little over 2 ounces, which isn't substantial for the benefit of better hydration.


I'd love to hear WhiteBlaze's opinions.

Thanks a lot, all the best,
David.
