Im planning to buy a mirage rig but is the "unisyn" harness
worth the money? And what about a deluxe backpack?
Got any experience?

I dont know about the Unisyn harness, I've never worn one. I have a regular G3 and I definitely think the deluxe back pad is very worth it. It makes it reall nice.

I've got a G3 with the backpad and love it (10-12 training jumps per day need a little padding at times). I wish I had the Unisyn option available when we got our gear. I've had a chance to look at it in person, it's using "soft" laterals, and the padding goes all the way around them and also to behind the chest rings.

I bought a G3 M3X with Unisyn and deluxe backpad, and I feel it's worth it.. The rig is very comfortable - in the plane, in freefall, and under canopy. The backpad makes all the difference in the world in the plane..

I put several jumps on a regular Mirage before I bought my new Mirage UNISYN. The difference to me was night & day. The UNISYN harness allows for an amazing range of flexibility and the comfort level is awesome.
I can't comment on the backpad though. I do not have one on mine but it is still very comfortable whether I am just in the plane for a hop & pop or staying with the plane for four back-to-back loads pitching IAD students.

The Unisyn harness is worth every penny. It is a patented design that no one else is using. When you get hip rings the rings are at a lower point then the unisyn and all ow your legs to move freely without bunching but when you bend at the waist, the laterel will still bind. With the unisyn, the ring is at a higher point which allows the legs to pivot on that point and also to pivot when you bend at the waist, and no binding of anything. Also, the chest rings allow for you to draw your chest strap as tight or as loose as you like and then the main lift web will then be able to pivot on the chist ring and run straight to the hip ring point with no binding of anything. If you have a standard ring try touching your two main lift webs on each side together and see how much of a bind there is where the chest strap attaches to the main lift web, with the unisyn, that doesnt happen. And all the hardware is padded behind it for comfort. The rig truly moves with your body no matter how you move, and with the g4 inset stabilizers and the backpad are standard and no additional charge so it really conforms to your body and adds to the comfort.
