checking soft luggage + a cart?

Hello all,

I've read about how soft-sided luggage is better than wheeled luggage for carry-ons...but what about checked luggage? It seems that wheels are necessary due to the weight...but if you check two bags having two wheeled luggage is pretty unwieldy.

I've been thinking about buying a couple Aviator duffels from Red Oxx and buying a portable cart/hand truck of some form (like this one) on which I could stack both of them. I lose some of my weight to the cart, but less than I would if I had two pieces of wheeled luggage...plus I gain some versatility.

Has anyone had experience with this? Are there any advantages to wheeled checked luggage?
