What the extra pockets are for
On the 7216, your things go inside the main compartment, which opens wide like a clamshell. That keeps the front clean and smooth. The Plus adds a top compartment, a zipped front pocket and a bottom compartment. Use them for the small things you reach for often, so you open the main compartment less.
Treat the outer pockets as quick access and keep valuables in the main compartment, on either bag.
