I have the Monos Pro Plus. It is very stylish. You can't stuff a lot of stuffs in the front pocket as it will bulge out. 1 laptop and its charger go there. The wheel and handle look to be very well built. Run down the aisle of the plane no issue. The zipper are great. Very well thought out design.

For 1-3 day trip it is perfect, and I bring different shoes with me. I don't think you ever want to check it is a hard side and will scratch up the surface. I would say the surface/ gets dirty easy if you pick a bright color. They sell a plastic cover but from reading the review, the cover gets destroyed easily. At 75 a pop, the cover is trash.

When this one kicks the can, I think I'd try a TUMI soft side.
