To my understanding the Crew 9 is Travelpro's flagship line and I do like the built-in laptop sleeve in the rollaboard itself. I've see both in person and I thought the Crew 9 was fairly comparable to the Tumi. The one thing I did like about the Travelpro was the Lifetime Warranty as opposed to Tumi's 5 year, however I don't see that as much of an issue for me since I almost never check my bag except for the rare exception that I have to gate check.
