As I mentioned, I'm seeking a rolling carry-on, preferably with a suiter, and preferably expandable. The latter two are not requirements. What is mandatory though is it can't cost as much as a Briggs and Riley.

(Wifey wouldn't let me get away with that nor is it a fight I'd rather have!) So $150 is my range, and not past $200 or so.

In truth, I'm hoping to get a suggestion besides the Costco rollaboard...which despite its value under its lifetime warranty, leaves something to be desired appearance-wise, IMHO. (Worse than the Travelpro, I think!)

So are there any good looking carry-ons at this price segment?

Thanks!

I think the outlet store is a great suggestion. In that price range I think travel pro is a pretty solid brand from what I read here. LL Bean makes some nice stuff too. I used it use them. They might be worth a look. And despite the appearence people do seem to really love Costco/Kirkland.
