What's better a BCA float throttle 22 or a BCA float 25 turbo

I'll chime in. I tested the 25 last year in the spring and after riding all winter with the 22. I believe that for me the 25 is the pack of choice. I used the 32 at the start of the year when the daylight was shorter and I carried more overnight supplies. But it was too big. Went back to the 22 for most of the winter but also felt it was too small for packing enough essentials.(for me) But it is an awesome pack providing you have other carrying capabilities on the sled for water and such. Then BCA offered me the chance to demo the 25 Turbo. After multiple rides and wanting to carry as much as possible I was completely satisfied with the size and function of the 25. It really will depend if you are comfortable carrying a loaded up pack though. It is a good work out

If you are buying from your local dealer, why don't you just go ask your local dealer what the difference is between the two?

Well, that is certainly a personal thing. One person may prefer more gear on their sled, and less on their back and prefer the 22. Another may not have the same storage on their sled, or prefer to carry it with them, so they would go with the 25.
The bigger the bag you wear, the more stuff you will carry. You will always fill it, no matter how big your pack it. I went down from a 30L Snowpulse pack 2 years ago, to a 18L Vest last year, and I love it. I put more in my tunnel bag and less on my back.

randy post is bang on between the two packs. I have had the exact same experience with all of the packs he discusses

This is the reason I went with the ABS over any of the other packs. If your not happy with the size you bought all you have to do is buy another zip on, not and whole new pack. Saves you a lot of money if you find out you don't like the size you bought.

I know this isn't a comparison to what you're asking but I have a float 30 and it's too large. It's a bit uncomfortable to ride with once you have your riding gear and a bit heavy when you start to fill it. I'm going to look for storage on my sled and a smaller Avy pack for my shovel, probe and small things.
