I purchased this and the small Darcey at the same time to replace an old Samsonite carry-on and decided to return this one and keep the Darcey. I was looking for a roomy, lightweight case with exterior pockets (specifically a pocket big enough for documents, magazines, etc). Most of the time my only luggage is my carry-on even on extended international trips so durability was also very important.  This bag fulfilled most of my criteria, but ultimately was not the right one for me.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Lightweight<br />-Durable Kipling nylon<br />-Can pack a whole lot<br />-Multiple interior compartments<br />-Multiple exterior pockets<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Duffle straps are an inconvenience when you need to access the main compartment quickly. I understand this is &#34;duffle&#34; bag, but due to the dimensions I would have been wheeling this most of time (if not all the time)<br />-Exterior pockets are small; good for toiletries and packing a lot of smaller items. My personal preference is to have a large exterior compartment.<br />-2-wheels; this is also a matter of personal preference but I found the Discover less smooth and less maneuverable than the Darcey spinner<br />-Seems a tad larger than standard carry-on, especially if it were completely packed.<br /><br />I did not attempt to actually pack the bag so cannot speak to the stability issues when standing upright, but I can see how that could be an issue with such a lightweight bag that is sitting on 2-wheels.
