I have the two wheeler TravelPro Crew Expert Max, fits majority of domestic carriers. Abit tight on the E175 and that’s how I ripped off the front zipper. I don’t have the platinum line, so can’t comment. I do highly recommend the crew expert as it’s built like a tank, and similar to their crew line. The issue is the 5 year warranty and is a limited run, so no future replacements for the Crew Expert.

I like the handles on TravelPro much better than BR. as it’s robust and stiff versus the flex that I feel with the BR, especially with backpack on the handle.
Since my BR is also a two wheeler, I don’t really notice any significant difference between the two in regards to wheels.
