Wow, this is a trunkload of handy information. If your original post were a piece of luggage, I think it would have to be checked in. That's how big it is.

And looming large it is, because I am about to pull the trigger on a purchase. I seem to find myself on a lot of AA's 757s these days, so I'm glad to know it will slide into the bins (wheels first, of course). And the hipness factor is worth a few extra bucks, too. (Or, at least it's worth a few bucks to avoid the dork-bag.)

And I know what you mean about narrow. I appreciate that slender profile. Witness all the schlumps bumbling down the aisle, banging and oofing their way to their seats with their oversized bags. Uh-uh: I don't wanna be one o' them no more. And I will definitely buy from the source to get that lifetime warranty.

So I guess I have one lingering question. Did you go with the Pro or the Sport? The Sport line has so many cool designs, but it appears that only the Pro frame is designed for sitting. Is this correct? Or can you also sit on the Sport frame?

Thanks again for your candid insights. Zuca should hire you to evangelize.

Hope to see you on the road (forget LAX).
