If you have the same gear as I have and you're on upgrading bag mode, which bag would you get?

Thinktank Airport Takeoff Check in Roller

or

Lowepro pro roller x200


Thanks

Personally i would go with the thinktank bag.

Work issued me a Pro roller, and my wife has a similar sized thinktank bag (airport security)

the thinktank bag is deeper internally, has a lock built in for the zippers, and a cable built into the back of the bag.
It also has Backpack straps.


Even though the top handle on the lowepro bag has a small steel strap riveted into the ends, i have damaged mine quite badly, so much so i am wondering how long it will last.
the thinktank bag handles are more comfortable, and i feel they will last longer in real use.


It really is personal choice which bag you buy, i prefer think tank, but Lowepro do have some good designs, and are an offshoot of a mountaineering pack company, so they do understand how to build a pack that will allow the human body to safely carry a large load, this doesnt really matter if your buying a rolling bag though.
