Has anyone brought their Zuca on a Lufthansa flight?

After reading the informative posts in this Travel Products forum, I recently bought a Zuca Pro at Overstock (currently $230.39 there). I have not traveled with it yet. My next flights are on Lufthansa to Frankfurt, then Oslo, then back to the US through Frankfurt again. I've never flown on Lufthansa but I know their stated carry-on policy is a stricter-than-normal 8" (actually 20cm which is 7.874 inches) of depth for carry-ons. I was looking over my Zuca Pro today and it is every bit the 10" inches in depth that the Zuca website says it is. I am worried that Lufthansa will force me to check the Zuca Pro because the bag is officially more than 2 inches over the limit. Also, the unusual shape of the bag is naturally bound to draw attention and be more likely challenged for a measurement. So, I ask you fellow Zuca Pro owners out there, have any of you successfully carried your Zuca on a Lufthansa flight despite Lufthansa's onerous carry-on policy?

If it makes any difference, I will be flying in Business Class on Airbus A340-300, A320, and an A340-600. I will use a different bag if LH is going to give me problems but I was really hoping to give the Zuca a spin on this next trip.
