Question Which carryon: Tumi presidio park, or Briggs and Riley transcend?

Hi, I'm looking for a good carry-on bag, that will fit comfortably into overhead bins (United's 22 x 14 x 9 is probably a good guideline for me), and into which I can pack a lot. It's a challenge for me to not check bags, so I want maximum space.

Also want something durable.

I've been thinking about these two bags:

Tumi T-Tech Presidio Park International Business Carry-On

versus

Briggs & Riley Transcend 200 22" Carry-On Exp Upright

They both seem similar, just under the size limit I specified, about same price, reputed to be durable.

One issue I have with B&R is that the frame for the handle is on the outside of the bag. Doesn't this wind up wasting space that could be on the inside of the bag? T-shirts, socks, etc., all fit quite nicely around the inside-the-bag tracks on my Andiamo bags.

Anyone have experience with either of these bags?
