I bought the G4 Napa expandable briefcase on Ebay for a big saving vs even US prices - given how expensive they are over here in Oz (US$700'ish equiv) was an even better deal as the approved web sites won't ship overseas so worth considering especially for non-US residents.

Also bought a couple of second hand pieces, one of which turned out to be 10-yrs old. Just goes to show why buy Tumi when it still looks great (not dated at all in style) and wears really well.

As per the comment above, AA lost my old 22" wheel-on (big shopping trip so I had expanded it and they wouldn't let me take it on) so treated myself to a new Gen 4 one. Is anyone else really disappointed? - I wish I'd found an old model somewhere instead
- Extendible handle feels much more flimsy
- Strap as mentioned above
- Expansion seems like it might wear quickly, be a little fragile
- Not sure I like having the "steal-me" logo on the front - much preferred the clean look of the old ones (I used to take the Tumi tag off)
- No cool hanger
Rush purchase so didn't spot these at the time. On the flip side:-
- Like the recessed handle
- Like the compression system

Anybody else feel the same?
