I am not sure I like the suiter in the Briggs. I don't see why they didn't make that removable (I guess it is partially). The wheels on the Briggs seem the least protected.

I am considering some of these same bags. Could you please elaborate on the size of the TP Crew, in both normal and expanded forms? Isn't it a 2" expansion as is typical for most such bags? Also, would you mind providing pictures showing which part(s) of the suiter come out of the B&R? I almost never need a suiter, so whatever is left in the bag is wasted space for me.
