largest capacity carry-on?

Hi all,

I have a 2.5 week trip coming up with a lot of short connections and varying wardrobe needs between two weddings, a business presentation and multiple climates.

So for a number of reasons I think I'm going to try for a carry-on. But I need to carry a ton with me. And my Delsey is far worse for wear after a decade. Any suggestions for the largest capacity one on the market?

The alternative would be to stick with my Delsey, and upgrade my laptop bag to a backpack that can carry a lot more gear. The Osprey at REI looks interesting if I could pair it with a rollerboard, maybe even my existing one. If you'd like to tell me to take that direction, I'm all ears, too.

What I think I need to cram in:
  • Suit
  • 3 dress shirts - long sleeve
  • tie
  • 3 polo shirts - short sleeve
  • 3-4 t-shirts
  • underwear and socks
  • 1 pair casual pants / jeans
  • 2 pair shorts
  • 1 pair swim trunks
  • 1 pair dress shoes
  • 1 pair casual shoes
  • Sunglasses and hat

And in my other carry-on I'm going to have:
  • Two laptops
  • Two power cords
  • E-reader
  • Big/bulky headphones
  • Extra chargers for stuff
  • Toiletries

I don't know pricing well, but I'd like to stay under/near $100 for any piece of luggage. I don't need business looks - REI & eBags bright canvas works fine for me.
