Hello ... I have both and much prefer the 803, but the real question is what bameras and lenses you wish to carry. The smaller pentaxes (ME S, MX, and some of the newer ones) are fine, and depending on which lenses I am using I can carry as many as three bodies and four or five lenses. Big lenses it's not so good for so many, but depends on how you load them.
LX is a problem. Only two, or one, depending on lenses. The pockets make easy to carry many rolls of film, filters, brushes, notebooks, accessories of all kinds. You must learn to pack carefully however. I make a way to carry two lenses in place where only one would fit, taking idea from special Leica lens cap. In the bag now is MX with 85mm lens, MX with 18mm lens, digital camera, case for 8 memory cards, extra battery, several lens hoods, notebook, pen, hand meter, and five rolls film, three filters, and an extra Leica piece I never remove, plus tiny little tripod. 803 is wonderful bag. If you carry many more gears, get two, wear them both, balance your load. It will be perfect, and you have room for lunch as well.
