Take a look at the many youtube reviews about the Away Bigger Carryon. Do you want a hardside bag? Do you want the Away built-in battery pack, removable by pressing on it and it pops out. Do you want the 50-50 opening the Away has, I would find that hard to place on hotel luggage racks.
I like the Travelpro brand with the larger main compartment and small lid compartment. I also prefer soft-side luggage, but you might have a totally different opinion.
