I bought a Sub-0-G two months ago, and have used it so far on three international flights to Europe and Africa. It is holding up quite well, and I'm pleased with the performance and the lighter weight.
One aspect that surprised me was that the case slides across a tiled floor rather well while in a vertical position. It's almost as good as a case with four "spinner" wheels (at least quite adequate). The change of position makes a nice change of pace during long terminal walks.
I did notice, however, that fitting this case into an overhead bin can sometimes be very tight. Trying to stick the case into an overhead been longways (rather than sideways) can be very tight on some planes due to that rather clunky handle.
