It's correct that the Salsa Air range has the single pole handle, unlike other ranges (personally I think this is one of the bigger design limitations of the Salsa Air range as compared with other Rimowa ranges). But an IATA sized case in one range has basically the same external dimensions as an IATA sized case in another range (the internal volumes do vary slightly).
If you are looking at the 56 cabin trolley and comparing it to an IATA cabin trolley, be cautious. The linear dimensions of the 56 cabin trolley (in all ranges) will exceed the maximum linear dimensions permitted by most airlines for carry on (don't assume this only applies to budget airlines). I own one (in the Limbo range) which I use for checked luggage and IMHO it should not be described as a "cabin" spinner - clearly misleading.
