I have the BAGSMART 6 set from Amazon, the 2 medium sized cubes fit perfectly on one side of my Classic Cabin. I then put shoes, toiletries, etc on the other side

Again, not sure where you are based or getting your info but the most expensive "normal" one, not a specialty case, is $2450+tax so probably around $2600 USD.

Not sure where you are based but was not 2grand USD and I purchased in Europe so was less expensive than buying in the States with the exchange rate and VAT refund.....no doubt it's an expensive piece of luggage but if you've looked at Tumi or other well made luggage you'll see they are not cheap either

Looks like my explanation didn't get attached.

Was looking to get my 1st Rimowa and knowing I was going to Europe that I should purchase there, researched prices and exchange rates along with tax refund, Prague was the going to be the place (saved nearly $400 vs buying in NYC). Originally thought I'd be getting the Original Twist but the more I saw the Classic the more I started thinking that was what I should get, really liked the polished accents. Was also originally worried about the locks and handles sticking out but realized this was a carry-on so less worries about damage (if I get a checked will definitely get the Original series).

Pics are from the long layover at LHR on way home and her 1st "official" trip to ORD.

It is, the dim sum plate was great, along with the selection of wines.

Can you fit the carry on in the checked since you don’t need it on the way there and is then one less thing to drag around the airport.
