Suggestions for a new roller board bag?

I purchased a travel pro from their online outlet store. Just need your employee number and airline for access. Got a nice discount and free shipping. Ended up finding a coupon code somewhere else online.

As far as the quality since the switchover to LW, I'm not sure if it's as good of quality. It's STILL a tough bag, but the nylon seems to be a finer/less durable grade and the handle tubes seem a little flimsier. Like I said, STILL tough, but doesn't seem quite as tough as when it was PNS. However, the kick plate sees better built and is reenforced from my original, which is nice.

My first several years with FDX I owed several TravelPro bags. Approximately every 2 years I would send it back to them for repairs. Each time I would get a letter telling me it was not repairable and they'd send me a new one NO CHARGE. It was easy and painless, sorry to hear that's not the policy anymore as I still own TravelPro bags

I went for the Strongbag ocean crosser thinking that the expandable part was an advantage.
I should have gone with what I knew works...the Luggage works/purdy neat bag.
I have the 22, I should have purchased the 26, the strongbag is junk, really not and as durable as LW.
Big mistake, lifetime repairs or whatever their claim is, it's JUNK. POS really!!!!

I did a lot of luggage research, and ended up with a Briggs and Riley purchased from my local luggage store. They bag is not cheap, but it looks sharp, is lightweight, and comes with a true, genuine, lifetime, no-questions asked warranty. And most repairs they can do right there in the store, or they'll send it in for me. So there's no need for me to mail luggage around the country. Well worth it in my opinion. The LW bags have a good reputation but they are heavy, and they are ugly IMHO; and they get uglier fast as the aluminum bits get beat up.

Oh, and then there's the 30 seconds between posts rule...
IF my PNS rollaboard ever wears out, I think I might give Briggs & Riley a try. They look nice, weigh a lot less, and are backed by a lifetime guarantee and what seems to be a commitment to great service.
