does anyone even know if they make the pretty neats still or is that the LW?

Afterburner, no I don't think a bag, any bag is more desirable in the 400 dollar range. I dont know many cheap airline dudes that are running about asking if they can blow 400 bucks to fix a zipper and foam handles. Its all about price point and value. Not sarcastic by the way just telling you the way I see it.
