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 ;-)
Lol! I want the Navy too! and why does that color cost more? At least you know you will love your new bags!
I feel like the spinner/non-spinner debate can be pretty polarizing. I had a 2 wheel bag and I can remember the exact moment I decided I hated it. Walking from the train to the hotel in Hong Kong. My husband had mercy on me and switched with me and I glided his bag with 4 wheels down the sidewalk. I have only used that bag once since then - that reminds me I should probably sell it. I know the wheels are not as durable on a spinner and there is less space but that is a tradeoff I am willing to make. I end up taking public transit often on my trips and therefore I am lugging my bags around quite a bit. Thanks for your help!
