Best place to buy B&R?
Title says it all. I have been bitten by the B&R bug and had a chance to handle several yesterday in Orlando and was very impressed with the construction, features and quality. Now I have the itch for either a 20" or 21" expandable model.
Where is the best place to buy on line and do the bags sold on bay have the same warranty?
Sorry Til, the TP Plat5 is great just wanting to try something else. Btw- there is a guy selling the Plat 5 on bay for $199 pretty consistently if you need a spare. C

No worries, my friend! While I really love the TP5 I'm not married to it and I know full well that other luggage companies have pretty daughters, too. A look at my assembly of Valoroso will demonstrate that. 
You will have to shop around a little. 30 minutes with the exact product codes on google should do. Recently I've seen a slew of discontinued models at londonluggage at good prices. They also had quite a few of the Crystal color models left. I like that color in particular. The site is not super nicely laid out so you'll have to surf around a little to get all the prices and offers.

Did a little surfing over the weekend but didn't find any screaming deals other than eBay. I have settled on the 421LX and just need to search for it specifically to see what I can come up with... And of course share with my fellow FT'ers.

CRP5, welcome to the BR fan club. I am sure you are going to enjoy using Briggs & Riley luggage. As far as outlets for buying BR luggage are concerned, why don’t you try out a local store? You will get to check out the luggage and take it home with you immediately. You may also get some “store discounts” if available. Alternatively, if you don’t mind waiting for your luggage to arrive for a few days, you can order it from their website (http://www.briggs-riley.com/). It’s a pretty simple and straightforward process.

BR is a great brand in every way, so go for it. Many of us prefer the classic Baseline to the trendier Transcend, but in the end this is a subjective call. About expandable, that is a popular feature, but if these are meant as carry-ons, be aware that they may not be accepted as carry-ons after expansion.
