I’ve been very happy with the bag so far, and it became my go-to for short summer trips as I can carry laptop in the side pocket and avoid having to take a backpack at all

I believe this is the model that I was sent in March this year (but in black color).

Thanks. It looks nice and functional. 
And it seems to meet all legacy carriers' measurements just fine.
(The reason I'm asking is that, as it happens, I had to buy a rollaboard in Los Angeles due to all the shopping... And now I'm thinking whether to sell it right away, as it's only been used once. I have an older Samsonite at home which I can use till October, and the one I bought was also a Samsonite. As the Tumi looks fine, I won't really need the new Samsonite.)

Those Lumos who are old enough in this game to have AY Rimowas as well, have you ditched those and favor the Tumi more? I will have luggage needs in the family later in the fall and wonder if I should wait for the Tumi also or buy normal cabin Rimowa (which is my favourite brand, thanks to AY, overall really good stuff and can easily go for 15-20 years so they are actually very cheap in the end).
However, as most seem happy with the Tumi so might as well wait..just interested in comparison to aluminium Rimowa specifically.

Thanks, another thing I wonder about are the zippers, I don’t like trolleys with zippers, just not made for heavy duty travel and would never buy one like that with money…still hope the Tumis are good enough quality to last for few years at least

I agree with you on the zippers. These zippers will probably last a few years with gentle-ish use.

I was going to get a Rimowa but they don't make two wheelers so I bought a Briggs & Riley just recently and it is great! The expandable compression system is a miracle, I can expand the bag and pack it full and then squash it back into its original shape. I have no idea if you can find them easily in Finland.

*Went to their flagship store here in Atlanta and was looked at as if I was from another planet when I asked for said model...

On my Samsonites, I've never had a problem with the zippers. They're superdurable, even if I cram the bag too full. It's the handle that breakst, or sometimes the wheels.

I have yet to take it onboard an AY flight so that remains to be seen, I have never had AY measure or weigh my carry on so in the future I doubt I’ll get much trouble. I honestly didn’t even think of that but I guess it’s sort of moot given where I’m based these days.
