Much depends on the weight you intend to carry and your circumstance. Wheel-less options like the Red Oxx Airboss or the Tom Bihn Aeronaut are great if you're traveling very light. But if you're hauling heavy dress shoes, outerwear, or a 4 lb company-issued laptop, sprinting across an airport like Frankfurt may not be all that easy on your back. I have the domestic version of the Briggs you've mentioned and couldn't be happier. (https://www.briggs-riley.com/shop/ty...pright-u121cxw). As a 50-something guy with an aging back, I've found that the Briggs 4-wheeled spinner makes traversing airports much easier than 2-wheels or a backpack convertible. I also have a predecessor to the Air Boss, the original Patagonia Maximum Legal Carryon. When it comes to non-business travel during the summer, the spinner stays home. My advice if you can't buy both types of luggage is to think carefully bout weight and maneuvarability.
