I really wouldn't take any roll on bag now and as CWS has stated before it's easily slung over your shoulder, out of sight of GAs and easily fits into some slot/crook of space on any overhead locker.

Ive been told twice, (yes told) as a Gold with G1, one of the first queing up onboard, that my standard roll on was being gate checked both on EDI to LHR flights hence my change to the Skypak bag. Polite chats asking why G1s were being easily targeted when G3 passengers some of whom had numerous bags weren't being asked.

*I have no connection or anything with the brand just to be clear!
