I would say the strongbags bag is much better than the luggage works. The handle is better, the entire bag is made of the ballistic material, and it's cheaper than the LW bag. It comes with a good warranty and all parts are replaceable with just a screwdriver. This might sound like a commercial for them, but I love my bag, and I've had many LW guys say they wish they'd got mine instead. It fits perfectly in the overhead too.
