I have always admired Tumi luggage from afar. So much so, apparently, that my wife bought me an awfully expensive wheeled briefcase for Christmas.

Now, I'm eyeing up a carry-on (20" expandable). I have an illness, I'm afraid.

Anyone else have Tumi? Any opinions of their suitcases? I love my wheeled briefcase.

(Also, I can't imagine ever owning a "good" bag of a size requiring baggage check considering the damage those bags receive. Anyone actually have a big Tumi bag that gets checked regularly?)
