Personally I prefer the Purdy Neat (Luggage Works) over the TravelPro. I have the standard issue flight crew 22" Purdy Neat black bag. It looks like a crew bag, never gets lost but the Saab has been rough on it. I feel sad for it. The guys I fly with that have have the Pelican, that thing could get sucked into the 757 engine, spit out and your clothes would be dry and nothing smashed. The regular crew bags, Purdy Neat etc. are all soft on the top, so things get crushed in there, my cracker jacks, my cans of nuts, my oatmeal cups etc. The Pelican is the only way to go. When my Purdy Neat dies, it is the only thing I will consider.

To each his own though. People make anything work.
