I have the tan Hartman roller board and spent a little over $500.00 and so far its been worth every penny. Since I made my purchase, I've flown around 300,000 miles and it is still holding up.

The feature I like the most is the expandabilty of it....It fits in the overhead as is, but I can unzip a zipper and basicly have alarger suit case(although in the expanded mode I have to check it) but I love the flexability. It works great...when I leave home I carry it on, when I return home with purchases I check it.

One feature that I don't have that I've only seen once was a roller board with dual wheels. When you get on the plane you're able to roll you board on a set of wheels that are on the side...this way it goes down the aisle of the plane easier.
