Recommendations on a new softside briefcase

[Rambo]

Need to tap the hive mind on this one: I need a new bag as my Tumi has bit the dust. I've been searching old threads and it seems that M&W, Custom Hide, and Glaser are popular with the peoples. So far, the M&W has the best "look" to me, but I thought I'd throw it out there to see if there were any better options and/or prices.

I had a really nice custom hide laptop bag. So nice in fact, some [adjective] [epithet] broke into my car and stole it.

I will re-buy from them in the near future.

I still have their leather backpack and it is excellent.

Here was a pic of it, in happier times.

It's behind the banana.

Here it is next to a cup of coffee.

Actually, while I have lots of love for the custom hide bag, I've been looking at this over on Col. Littleton's site -

It just seems maybe a tad bit too small. Not sure.

Anyone have a link to M&W bags online? I'm not familiar with the brand a brief online search showed mainly women's purses.

Can't really go wrong with Saddleback.
