Of course how you pack. I do like the idea of packing flat! I wish I could test out the bag for a trip to make sure I like it.
Honestly, Datsun 280z (too funny, my Uncle had a lime green one, so cool) I would get a non spinner. For a bag this size, spinners aren't necessary and you actually lose space (and sometimes the spinners don't fit in overheads as nicely as a true roller). I definitely would have a spinner on a big heavy checked bag, but for a weekly 'runner' I would buy the Baseline, U122CX. I can get 4 pairs of work pants, 4 soft jackets, 4 soft shells, running shoes,socks, a running outfit, pjs, 4 pairs of sox, toiletry bag and a curling iron into the standard Baseline. It packs a crapton, belying its small footprint.

Of course, I go to get you the model number, and I notice that B&R started offering navy for almost all the Baseline pieces, not just a select. My wallet does not thank you for the inevitable spending that will shortly commence. If anyone wants a somewhat worn B&R Baseline olive set, PM me ;-)
