The pros that I am familiar with that have been mentioned to me and come up elsewhere:
1) The wheels are great.
2) The bag is easy to maneuver.

The Cons:
1) The bag is heavy
2) The handle feels flimsy
3) Usually the price. (not this time though)

From my own personal experience with other Tumi international carry-on's I can add a few things: The suiter is ridiculous. It is very small and flimsy. I am always anxious to unpack any suit I have in there. That is the biggest issue for me without question. Also, I am not sure how well the color blue is going to deal with wear and tear. Granted, blue is easy to spot if you are forced to gate check something, but I also suspect that any damage is going to appear more pronounced.

I have never had issues with any Tumi bags I have. In fact, they have served me well over the years and i will continue to buy them. Also, I dont think the bag is that heavy, but that is me. I hope some of this helps.
