I actually used my mother's 26" as it's made out of super lightweight material and since Qantas can be a real stickler, I wanted to minimize unnecessary weight as much as possible...
And as useful as the 4-wheel bags are, whenever I see someone rolling one alongside them in the airport I'm always reminded of someone walking a dog...anyone else see the similarity?
I agree about the 26''. As to the roller wheels, I luv'em. But their highest and best use is on the 22'' cary-on bags. When I roll through the aisle of the plane (without hitting any person or thing) people look on with approval (and a hint of envy).
