Cigarman, do you have a specific Tumi model you recommend? And why are you so happy with Tumi?
I also have had bad experience with TravelPro. My rollaboard tore parallel to the zipper, and was unrepairable.
I Love the durability. The miles flown people quote don't really matter. If you fly to asia 4 times you got 50,000 miles. Not alot of wear and tear there. For me to get to 50,000 miles, I will fly 75 segments. That is a bunch of cab rides, overhead bins, hotels,trains, subways, etc..etc... I have 4 TUMI bags that have never been damaged in many years. My oldest bag is about 10 years, the newest this year. They are just industructable. But very expensive for the frugal at heart to part with the cash.
