I think that I'm just getting in my own head because, visually speaking, Cabin Plus just looks huge compared to my TUMI International Carryon in black. I would get the Cabin Plus in back, but apparently it does NOT age well in terms of the scratching and color coming off.
I can't agree more with the last sentence, which is quite disappointing, regarding the price. My blue Cabin has quite a few scratches after maybe 15 segments, which is far from expected. And the naked aluminum clearly shows off. So the coating is far from durable. So, if you don't want to see it, just go with the silver one.
