Nautica Luggage?

It's not a name that pops to the top of my mind when I think of luggage, but I came across this item earlier today, and the reviews on ebags and Amazon have me curious. I've never had anything from Nautica that was poor quality - does anybody have any experience with their bags?

I'm trying to decide on a (fairly low cost) checked bag. Our old Samsonite Silhouette 29 just bit the dust, and I want something similarly sturdy, but maybe a little more lightweight. The Nautica seems to fit the bill, if it's actually decent luggage. Some others I'm considering:

Samsonite Fiero 28 - looks good, but is it good enough to cost 80% more?
Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds 28 - like Nautica, not the first brand that comes to mind when I think luggage
eBags EXO 2.0 Hardside Spinner 24 - looks fantastic, but I'm a little concerned about the smaller size, and my wife's ability to fill it up quickly. Also unsure about some of the reviews comparing it to the 1.0.
Costco Samsonite Hardside Spinner set - Looks pretty good, and has the Costco return policy. No need for the rollaboard, but I guess that could just be a freebie.

Any thoughts/advice/experience on the Nautica (or any of these) would be greatly appreciated. I know, I know, I should just shut up and get B&R - if that was an option, I would.
