Hey just wanted to chime in. If you can't afford the Purdy Neat stuff, get the ebags pilot 22" upright (not the expandable one). Mine's been going strong for two years, I got it for a little over 100 bucks, and I've seen it on sale for as low as 80, and the customer service is really good. I've been pretty rough on mine too, commuting from Boston and dragging it around on the cobblestone, and I figure as long as I get 4 years or so out of it, it was well worth the price. The only thing I changed were the wheels, which rolled nice, but plastic roller bearings just won't last that long. Fifteen bucks later, courtesy of play it again sports, I had a new set of roller blade wheels, which have lasted a year and a half with no problems. I can still roll my suitcase-lunch cooler-flight case combo, which weighs 80 lbs. or so, along with one finger, and the bag weighs half as much as the Purdy Neat and is nearly as strong.
