At $500, it is very pricey, but if I would consider it money well spent if the warranty is honored and it protects my possessions adequately. At some point in the future, I would like to purchase a carryon as well, but it would have to fit in an MD80 overhead, and I would like to consider the possibility of international travel as well. The three options I am looking at are:

Great Bag should work great for your travels, and warranty is awesome.

I would welcome any thoughts that the experienced travelers here have on the matter. Thanks for reading my lengthy post!

The 18" is your only safe bet based on your travels, but you give up a lot of space.
