On the 20" rollaboards, will those suckers fit in the 'unmodified' overhead bins that typically require something to be set in sideways, not wheels first?
That's actually one of the criteria I forgot. I want something that will fit wheels first in most any overhead bin, if possible. Or even under a seat (assuming I don't have legs, I suppose). Something that will serve well in those 'oh no, no bin space!' times.
I'll peek about at the suggestions, too. A 20" rollaboard might be what I'm looking for.
Edited to Add: I'm looking at the U-112 Briggs-Riley, actually. Looks big enough for 2-3 days of clothes, and probably will slide under an airline site. Time to search around and see what folks think of that brand.

My 20" Travelpro fits "wheels first" on all UA mainline metal (of the ones I've been on 733/735, 752, 319/320, 777) with the exception of the 767 (had to go sideways). It did also fit underneath the seat in front of me on a 737 when it had to. (If it had fit into the budget, I definitely would've gone Tumi since I absolutely love my Tumi briefcase)
