I recently got the small spinner for 2-3 day trips and it fits under the F seats and in CR7 bins. Somewhat takes care of the bin (or gate check) issue and beats lugging a duffel or a small suit carrier when not needed.
Have you seen F bags valet checked on an E175, or just on other regional jets? I have never seen valet checked bags on any E175 flight. I asked about it on one flight where the F bins were full and was told they don’t valet check bags on the E175.
