I do feel that a nice beaten up Classic Flight looks a lot sharper than a Topas.
I never see them around here on domestic trips, but I have sometimes to/from Europe. But I was in SF last week on business and a few blocks from the JW Union Square was a Rimowa store. First one I've been in, and they had a very nice selection. The Limbo attaches are very nicely done. It was also useful to look at the Salsa DLX cabin multiwheel to compare the size. I've seen one go in an overhead but I don't know if it would fit in the templates.
Leaving SFO I saw a young woman with a Salsa DLX trolley but in Seal Gray -vs- Black that I have. That's a nice shade. On my next leg I was on the SkyTrain at DFW and a couple of AA FA's were having some fun at my expense because the finish is so glossy. At the other end of the car was a guy with a Topas watching the show - so last week I saw other Rimowas for the first time on domestic trips
I like the Salsa DLX because it holds as much as my aging Tumi Alpha Suiter and has a much lower profile.
