I ended up with this: http://tenba.com/products/Messenger-Large-Bag.aspx
Big enough for camera, flash, and a few lenses - PLUS my laptop. So now I can carry one bag back 'n' forth to work instead of two.
The depth of this bag means I can carry the camera "nose down" just like I always wanted to do - and the zipper on the top of the flap means I have pretty-much instant access to the camera when something comes up. Perfect! While it looks a little big, it sticks close to the body, unlike a lot of the "boxier" bags that are out there. I didn't want to feel like I was carrying a big tool box with me every time I had the camera on my shoulder.
When I don't want the camera gear with me, the whole section with the camera/flash/lenses can lift right out and then it's "just" a laptop/ messenger bag.
