Love it!
I pile it on top occasionally (attaching it to hang in front messes up the weight balance), but find that the additional weight can make the spinner roll less efficiently on many surfaces, so it's easier to keep them separate a lot of times. I have an ebags roller carry on duffel (not a spinner) which has totally spoiled me with the inline wheels it uses, so smooth with great maneuverab ility - I think it makes me notice the change with the bag on top here.

The spinner is growing on me, I still prefer real inline wheels but the lack of shoulder stress with this bag has been great.
