My wife uses a Flight Classic Cabin and loves it, though it's more of a style over function type deal (chose it over the Topas), and while the wheels on that case roll like butter on a hot pan, it is still a carry-on that won't see more than 30lbs of weight, which will be the same for my 19.
The one thing I do miss is the Rimowa "Add-a-bag" hanger. This one has a monogram patch in its place.
