JMacfie, Yes! Spending hundreds of pounds on suitcases is as idiotic as spending hundreds of pounds on a watch or a handbag. What it says about you is A) you've got more money than sense B) you're insecure and C) you're a selfish idiot.
Just buy a normal case/watch/handbag and give the difference to charity - that knocks out A and C, and you'll feel better about yourself, which will deal with B.
