Generally good list.

I'd argue Briggs & Riley is > Tumi for soft-sided / nylon. The B&R Baseline products are exceptional + better warranty.

Pelican is extremely well regarded for hard-sided / bombshell though maybe its slightly different use case from Rimowa

Away is also a great alternative to Rimowa, something a bit less flashy.

Best 'bang for your buck' is generally TravelPro. A tier below the rest in quality, but also multiple tiers below in cost.
