I've read up on this for a few hours yesterday including the Tumi vs Briggs thread here. My requirements

2 Wheels (easier for running)
Meetings domestic bag limits for airlines
Don't care about laptop pockets, not a good place to put it
Reasonable quality
Don't like TravelPro because they tip over

I was settled on the Briggs Transcend but then I read it doesn't fit in the bin for some airlines.

Does anyone have any suggestions. Anything I'm not thinking about?

Nobody?

A couple of years ago I was in the same predicament. This was after my second Travel pro failed me again. After looking at Tumi, Red Oxx. Tom Bihn and a few others I settled on a B&R CX122 baseline series. It fits in all the overhead bins on the planes I have been on except RJ's. It has traveled the world with me, and still looks like a new bag. I would go with the baseline CX122. YMMV.

If you can afford it, this

Comes with a nice Lufthansa logo and the inside lining is also Lufthansa branded

I did the same analysis and considered the CX given our luck with our 29er B&R, but over the past year, for me, I've fully switched to Tom Bihn carry-on only. The overhead of wheel aboard frame, handle, and wheels slowed me down more than helped. I actually did some experiments with cheaper bags for about a year to find the right mix and carry-on only ended up winning the day.

I can carry 4 suits and 5 days of clothes in a TB A45 backpack style, to which I add the Western Flyer, Night Flight Travel Duffle, or the Pilot as my personal item depending on the trip. With that set up I've yet to find someone with a similar load who can move through an airport, train station, or hotel faster than me.

I actually was just on a flight that was diverted to Denver and they had to rebook all of the connections which caused a huge back up at the check-in counter. People with their rollerbags were all stuck in a line.... I just went up and over the seats and was on my way, made my connection with a few minutes to spare and no worries about overhead space

Sorry, pet peeve. The rest of you (lucky enough to not be bothered by this kind of thing) can go on with your lives.
