Edit: I just looked at Crew Outfitter’s website and they also show it out of stock.

I have to admit, I hate LW bags. They are not worth the premium you pay for them. Everything from the worthless snap straps inside to rails. Just not happy with them and much preferred my Travel Pro roller.
That said, I think I will be checking out the Strongbag next go around. I have their cooler and it is amazing.

Ditto on the Aurora, I'm not a die hard LW guy or anything but I've had zero issues with the plastic frame. I've been using Auroras for last 5 years and for the cost I can afford to replace twice as often even if I did have an issue. Also its like 10 less pounds to drag around the airport.

Sort of like how during a break an FA called my aviator glasses “so cliche.” I politely informed her that aviator glasses are excellent for....aviating.
