Bought the same deal from Costco for my wife recently - the T&L carry-on, medium check-in and the weekender. I think it was cheaper than the Platinum Elite. She's only used them on domestic trips so far, but is going to take the carry on and weekender to Europe under the same conditions you. Compared it to Monos, Beis and Away in person (returned the Away, borrowed a friends Monos, and my daughter kept the Beis because it was pretty) and the Travelpro was the nicest of them all. Can't speak to its durability yet, but seems sturdy and doesn't feel/look cheap. I've got a B&R and it doesn't roll as smoothly as hers.
