IMHO - this depends on how much use you expect the bag to receive.
I'm travel frequently - typically 6 to 9 trips per year. Been that way for many years. After a number of years of buying Samsonite, American Tourister, ... ..., I got tired of having bags start failing in three years. So I decided to upgrade. Was shocked at the prices for TravelPro, Tumi, and Briggs and Riley, and bought Atlantic. Got about five years out of the Atlantic, then it began falling apart. So when I saw a Briggs and Riley sale about ten years ago, I moved up to that. Smart decision. Still going strong.
DW every now and then decides we need a new suitcase, and gets something on sale at Macy's or TJ Maxx. Three years later, if it gets used regularly, it's falling apart. I don't say a word, but continue to trundle the B&R when we travel.
One of our B&R pieces is a softside supersize that I don't think they sell anymore. It works great on our Hawaii trips - I pack it with our snorkel gear, trekking poles, and insulated backpack. Then fill up the remaining lighweight stuff to day below 50 lbs. Works beautifully now for 10 years. I'll never go back to cheap luggage again. It's not worth it unless you are happy with disposable.
