i am looking for a new hardside carryon luggage and debating the top lid design vs clamshell. my current softside luggage measures
24” H with wheels x 10” depth x 14 3/8 width which works on southwest obviously too big for some of the other airlines.

the top lid appears to have more storage capacity. I like that I can put it on the luggage rack in the hotel room and just pop up the lid to get access
to my clothes vs the clam shell design. interested to get your thoughts and recommendations. budget $150 or less on amazon.
