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.
