I noticed the e-bags offer, too. I'd been eyeing (is that spelled right?) what I believe to be that exact same bag at my local Samsonite outlet for $169.99 and ended up buying it (in black) direct from Samsonite through Onsale for $89.99+$12.00 shipping (total $101.99). They periodically have that bag (I notice it's not listed now as I am posting this message) and you don't get any clickmiles but still it's a pretty good price.

BTW, the reason I got it was that I really liked my "old" Samsonite carry-on bag (from about a year ago) but the large wheels meant that I couldn't get the bag through the stencils on some of the x-ray machines. (Can everybody spell "DENVER"?) Anyway, I got my new carryon and like it, though not as much as my older one because the smaller wheels just don't work as well. Oh, and it fits quite well in the overhead compartments (I'd had some problems with my older bag in NWA's DC9s and MD80s).
