I got my TravelPro Crew2 from www.stopoverstore.com for $119 (online store for crew, FAs, etc.). Thought that was a pretty good price! The bag is the basic, non-consumer/public version of their popular Crew line. My favourite feature is the J-Hook, where I can simply drop my laptop bag onto a hook-dongle thing that hangs from the top of the suitcase. It makes rolling through airports a breeze. I've found other 22" rollers from the likes of Tumi and B&R have convoluted clip systems that require a bit more user interaction when attaching a second bag. I've put my Crew2 through over 200,000 miles since I bought it and it still looks practically brand new (I rarely check it, though).

Since I'm a bit of a luggage guy, I'm always casually hunting around for other options. My next purchase will probably be a B&R. But for now, I'm more than happy with my TravelPro ... did I mention how much I love the J-hook??
