My 2 cents.

Long time lurker here:

I have a Tumi Alpha 22" carry-on with fold out garment sleeve that it is my main go-to suitcase. It is tough and sleek and gets the job done. BTW, I removed the garment sleeve and just use the suitcase. I earned it with Marriott Rewards points a few years ago.

A few things I would change about the bag:
The retail price is $595, that's too high.
If full, it has tendency to "lean" forward.
It is almost too big, especially for commuter aircraft.

I also have an older TravelPro 20" that is great. Very lightweight and built like a tank.
