Question B&R TU120XW Opinions?

I'd like to hear folks' opinions or feedback on the Briggs and Riley TU120XW wheeled carry on.

I have been a happy customer of B&R for about 10 years. My 21.5x8.5x14" leather carryon has served me well, but recently lost a rivet, then a zipper pull. I plan on sending it in for warranty repairs, but I will need a bag in the meanwhile, so I thought the 20" expandable wide body may be best, located here:

A few background facts:
1. I will use the bag primarily for 3 to 10 day business trips via airplane

2. I primarily fly United, Premier Exec level

3. I fly out of SFO and normally fly to major airports

4. About half my travel is international, usually to Paris/CDG

5. I travel about 50% of my time

6. I generally pack a suit, a blazer, wool slacks, underwear, workout gear, a pair of shoes, and a CPAP. I can make that all fit in my existing B&R but it's tight. The dimensions on this bag (without expansion) are about the same.
Questions:
1. Do any of you have this bag? What do you like or dislike about it?

2. Can I expect to wheel a 15.5" wide (plus handles) varryon down the aisle or should I expect to carry it?

3. If you are not a fan of this carryon, what carryon would you recommend given my situation?
Thanks so much!
