The EC Global Commuter is half the depth of the Tristar. It is more like a large convertible briefcase (that will fit a 17" laptop) or a smaller carryon. I'm assuming the reason Till included it in this lineup is that it does stretch (bulge) quite a bit when packed. The Tristar from what I've read online does not really bulge/stretch when packed.

The Global Commuter is good for carrying 1 + 1/2 change of clothes. i.e. it's just an overnighter/weekend bag.
