For the benefit of others, I am planning to get it from Hetzenecker in Munich, and will try my luck at getting a full 19% VAT rebate.
Great choice!
I got the Limbo 73 and IATA 52 in August of last year. We have taken the 73 on two transatlantic trips. It has dents at every corner and I've been plenty glad that the aluminum has held up and protected it. I use my IATA 52 for regular business trips every month as cabin carry-on and it's held up great too. Again the aluminum corners have absorbed beatings from friction with other carry-ons. Even when they are packed completely full, I love that they weigh much less than the old TravelPros we used to have. I'm usually the one lugging both the Limbo's in & out of taxis and up & down steps. The 4-wheels have held up really well even on cobblestones in old European cities. But we don't push it too far and will catch a taxi if it's more than a block or two of cobblestones.
