I just updated the info in the original post. It seems like Victorinox also has a really good warranty on their higher lines. Plus they have a tracer program. I think they might be the only ones to have the tracer program AND the unconditional warranty. This and the sales prices that can be had make it more interesting. I always found Victorinox luggage a bit lackluster (except the Architecture and Tourbach lines) but may look into it again.

Just saw that they are changing models in the Tourbach line to 2.0. So really nice deals can be had. Check it out. The Tourbach warranty is also even improved over the other V. warranty in that they will expedite a loaner bag to you while yours is in repair. I like that.
