I used the large size last week and had 48# of total weight. The luggage held up fine IMO being checked-in twice with Southwest.
There was a sign of indentation (blue became white where the crease was), but no physical damage other than cosmetic.
Not 100% sure what the craze is of not getting ABS unless you're a frequent flyer who may come upon a lot of abuse. Also with the carry-on size, most people would abuse that themselves unless the overheads were completely full.
Overall, I found the ABS to be fine. And at a lower cost, I feel that many people will appreciate the durability and savings.
Get quality luggage and save yourself from a big hassle!

How do you tell if those areas will hold up you ask? I have no clue, so since I have no clue technically, I usually use regular price as some sort of measure...

If you want to know what's held up, just look at what the international flight crews are using.

We've had these cases for over 10 years now, regularly doing international or coast to coast domestic with them every other month and they hold up very well. I wish I would have gotten more on the Tribus deal when they had it because it was literally 2x for the price of one including shipping. S'cures are hard to find in the US because they're a grey market import here, but you can get them in Canada and are priced well when on sale.
Edit: The new Samsonite model is the 'Essens':

I cannot imagine doing short trips with heavy hard sided luggage, what a pain.
I went with travelpro and could not be happier. The difference between cheap and nice is not just 'design', it's materials like the zipper, the wheels and the handle. Those things fail on cheap luggage.

Travelpro is decent, but I've noticed crews no longer using them. I forgot the brand name now, but there's another one they're using that actually will do overnight swaps for parts and bag issues--they're the ultimate softside.
There's only so much you can do with materials on a bad design. And materials are just all different levels of crap from china these days, where they will attempt to bait and switch the manufacturer constantly...
I personally like soft luggage, yes its usually heavier but also more able to organize and gain access without just accessing everything.
Cost doeent equal quality as you mentioned, but you can pay a little more for quality without paying an exorbitant ammount for a name. I have Tumi luggage, so i pay for quality and a name, not saying everyone should. I just enjoy what i consider timeless designs.
Id buy an Away or similar luggage set if cost is more of a factor, you can get 3 or 4 pieces for around what a Tumi carry on costs, and will last just as long. Im a bag snob, we all have our deficiencies.

Whatever works for you. I like the hardside as I don't have to worry about anything being damaged.
Quality is pretty subjective. Ironically I've found tumi bags are samsonites for snobs--a hair better quality but nothing to justify the price. I'll stick to a good design coupled with whatever quality comes with a superior design. Long live the oyster, lol.
