This is not exactly a 'seating' question but I think this is the best thread for it, so here goes:

Has anyone been on one of KLM's new ERJ (Embraer 190), and/or can anyone tell me what the overhead luggage bins are like?

On other (smaller) Embraers, the bins have a very small vertical dimension and my wheelie-case has to be gate-checked. But I like to put my laptop in the case and the gate-check handlers aren't always that gentle! (I'll be in the 'free newspaper'/'weird snack' section, so can I perhaps store the case in the closet?)

Any info much appreciated.
