The expandable feature is triangular, adding nothing to the first 5" from the bottom and then gradually increasing to a maximum of 2.5" at the top.
My scale is in Berkeley and I am not. So in the interest of precision, I just ran the bag over to the all night post office and put it on their scale. It weighs 5 pounds 3.9 ounces.
Wow, thanks so much! That would be 2377 gram according to the converter widget. This means that it would be quite exactly a full pound heavier than what they say. I have read it is 1900 gr.
It would put it not at the top but at the bottom of the rolling bag list.
Travelite Delite - 1900g (semi-hard) ca. $150 but not available in the US
Landor Hawa Sub0G - 2177g (soft) ca. $100
Heys X-Case-NS - 2182g (hard) ca. $90
Antler Wheeled backpack - 2200g (soft but quite structured) ca. $135
At least the measures make it LHR proof.
The koffer-direkt site shows it as 2.3kg and the Sub-0 as 2.1kg. The site has a very useful function where you can sort the luggage according to weight. I know of no US site with that function.
On the Travelite company website they call it the Starlite and it is spec'ed at 2.1kg.

On the Leder Buchler website it is given as 1.9kg.

However, both sites give measures that are also slightly smaller than what you measured. Another lesson that specs can be trusted only as indicators.
