Seeking Largest/Nicest Carry-On to Replace Old Timbuk2 52L Copilot

I'm looking for assistance in finding the largest volume, rolling, luxury carry-on for domestic travel on UA.

I'm looking for something that's similar in size to my 52L Medium Timbuk2 Copilot, that I can still get away with as a carry on, that is of a very high quality, and that I'll be pleased with the look of. I want to treat myself for my next year of travel, which could be my last for a few years.

I've drooled over Rimowa, but I can't find a carry-on of a large enough size..I'd also want to wait until their new lines are released....in late 2016, apparently.

I really like a lot of the Tumi bags, but I can't seem to find a suitable size. I especially like the look of their $875.00 Earl-Grey color "Short Trip Expandable 4 Wheeled Packing Case." I also like the Pewter Raleigh Continental Expandable Carry-on.

I've looked around a lot, but nothing else jumps out at me yet. I'd love some suggestions, keeping in mind my size requirement and style.

Right now I use a 2012 model year medium Timbuk2 Copilot roller and I love it because of the volume of items that it fits. I think it's 52L and the dimensions are 22 x 14.6 x 9.8 inches..it's probably stretched out a lot, too. Although I'm pretty certain it's larger than the current United carry-on size, I've never been questioned and I've always fit it in the overhead. Here's a link to it: https://www.amazon.com/Timbuk2-Copil...ct_top?ie=UTF8

There's a new version of the Copilot, but although it's advertised to be the same size, it's significantly less in volume with a "clamshell" design. I already purchased and returned it.


Any suggestions?

Thanks!
