The extra deepness corresponds to the specs, but its lower height must mean that either the GM7030T is less than 50cm, or the Sub-0-G is more than 50cm. Unfortunately I didn't have a tape measure with me.
Took a tape measure: the GM7030T is 49cm high and 23-24cm deep, though you could get that down to 21cm at a pinch.
The Sub-0-G is 20cm deep but 54cm high including the handle collapsed. The Sub-0-G is marginally lighter. It also has considerably more space inside, mainly because of its very rectangular design and because the handle struts run down the side, whereas in the GM7030T they run close to the middle and eat up more space.
