UA 747 new config C: didn't fit wheels in, had to go sideways.

The suiter's a bit anoying as you can't take the whole thing out if you don't need it; just the last third. Also as others have said it needs a bit of space to load (~5') since you can't take it out.
spinjockey– thanks for your review... Regarding UA's new config C 744, did you try to load the bag in the center (middle) overhead lockers/bins or the outer (portside or starboard) bins? While I've never had an issue with luggage in F or C, I've found UA 744's center bins to be much smaller than the outer bins, even with my BRW20/BR220 20" Business Traveler, which I'm looking to replace. (I've found that the main compartment doesn't have enough space, cannot accommodate my needed suits well. Also, I find it a hassle to pack the included laptop bag in the outer compartment.)
I never had a chance to play with the suiter, but of the tri-fold, it sounds like only one section comes off? Has this remained a hassle for you, or have you been able to adapt?
