The price seems decent, especially when compared to the same model sitting next to it, except in a different color. One thing though, the Merge is an international carry on vs the B&R which is not..
I was looking at the Tumi sale as well. I ran across this and it is an international carry on, in blue with a steep discount. It is not a spinner though. I have heard good and bad things about this model, but if it covers 8 or 9 out of 10 things you are looking for, and is marked down significantly, why not.
