My trusty TravelPro Crew 9 26" 2-wheeled upright is probably going to die on me soon so I'm thinking ahead for a replacement. To my shock and horror I couldn't find any decent 2-wheeler from any major brands larger than a 22", as most of them only carries spinners now (except B&R, they have some really pricy upright rollers.)

I've had horrible experiences with spinners before when they first came out. I was dragging a 26" hard side spinner (along with about 30kg of company brochures and clothes) over cobbled-stone paved streets on 2-wheels (just like you would a normal roller case) and one of the hind wheels snapped off during one of my first trips. I took it back for warranty repair, went on another trip, only for the other hind wheel to break. Since then I have avoided spinners like a plague, but my choices are running out. Shall I let go of my fears and embrace the future? Or shall i just suck it up and buy the B&R rolling upright?
