I'd go with B&R over Tumi every time. They have the same weaknesses (price, weight, looks), while B&R is the cheaper of the two with the better warranty.
That said, I won't buy either one of them.

Maybe in Europe, but I think Tumi is probably the more recognized brand in the US. That said, Rimowa is much nicer stuff.
