By the way, I have generally found that if you are okay with the discontinued version (which only has cosmetic differences anyway), it is both easier and cheaper to buy TravelPro's Platinum line. The Crew line usually gets snapped up pretty quickly by people, so you are unlikely to findthe discontinued version of the bag.

With Platinum, however, those bags are typically widely available and the price of a discontinued Platinum is usually much lower than the price of a current version Crew.
