Till:

Thanks. Swissaire also helped me with the benefits of owning the titanium version. I will get one within a month and then take it to China ( interior cities) and Thailand in September. One time in Chengdu, the Air China luggage handler completely teared off the large outer pocket of my 27" Travelpro Platinum case. They only offered to give me a made-in-China low cost luggage as compensation. At the end I got them to pay me US$50 as compensation. From that point on, I always wanted something that is near-undestructible if I were to return to those interior cities in China. I hope the Topas or Titanium can take the abuse there. (compared to Travelpro with all the pockets and zipper pulls that always present a problem)
