100% agree. My current travel pro (Maxlite 3) has over 1000 flights on it. I actually got a Maxlite 5 (I think), but realized the interior was smaller, so I returned it. My 3 still works great. Has a lot of wear, but no tears, and it still pulls just fine.
For hardsided stuff (mostly work samples), I roll with a few variants of Pelican cases. Those things take a lot of abuse. I much prefer those over the metal types that are all scratched up and dented after only a few flights.
