You'd be stupid to buy a gucci or "high end" bag for $700, when you can shop around and find some nice pieces for $100. And people need to remember: it's luggage. It'll get dropped, thrown, tossed, pushed, pulled, stacked, and pissed on. Personally I'd rather throw the dice and pay $100 for a rollerboard that may or not make it (both of mine HAVE made it) then $700 for a piece that may or may not make it.

Now when it comes to a carry-on rollerboard? I buy the priceist. The condition of this is something that I CAN control . And I found that the "you only cry once" clause is fully applicable.
