There hasn't been much talk here about weight.

I have an Atlantic 20" rollabord that I bought about 4 years back. It's flown well over 300K miles with me, all over thw world, and is still as good as new. My father got one at the same time, and he swears by it.

One of the reasons I like my Atlantic expandable is because it weighs in at 9.5lbs empty.

Now I'm in the market for a second rollabord for my SO, and we'd like to get something even lighter, especially since I travel a lot on code-shares with European airlines who are insistent on keeping the wieght of the carryon down below 18lbs or so packed.

The costco bag at 14lbs empty is way too heavy. Does anyone here have a reccomendation for a top quality light weight bag (9 lbs. or less)?
