After a LOT of research, picked the Tarmac. No, it wasn't inexpensive, but rather than give in to temptation of the less costly rollers, I went with this one. I've never regretted it - it's held up very well. The Tarmac packs a lot in the compartments, and when it's on a hotel room stand the zipped upper side keeps things from falling out. I've done about 40 or so trips with it as a carry-on, and as everyone says, wheels out and it almost always fits. The various handles and grips are very helpful to grab when you're trying to get it into the overhead. I will say that the slightly rounded shape at the top of the bag sometimes forces me to do some squeezing to fit my shaving kit in there, but it usually works with some persuasion. When I slide my computer bag over the handles and pull it that way it feels heavy and unbalanced. Hanging the computer bag with the luggage strap from the top of the bag works much better, but takes longer to snap it on /off. After reading some of the other reviews, I need to weigh it - I sometimes feel it could/should be a little lighter. After some use, the only thing that's gone wrong on the Tarmac is the rubber grommet has torn around the handle's push button.  All in all, well worth the cost - I'm impressed with Eagle Creek.
