The TravelPro Platinum Magna line has the magnetic wheels. They roll like a dream, just took my new 21-inch spinner to NYC over all kinds of terrain (subways, buses, hotel carpet, grates on the sidewalks, etc.) and enjoyed excellent rolling performance. The bag holds a lot, too.
Downside to this spinner is it's tippy with the deluxe tote mounted on top. Be sure to "latch" the velcro at the back of the tote when mounted on the spinner, less tipping that way. The 21-inch fits fine on WN's overhead, the tote fits under a seat.
I wish more bags had a jacket-holding bungee, that feature is really needed in winter and rainy weather.
