I have a Columbia 3-ball bag (inline) I got at Nationals in Corpus Christi a couple of years ago.  Not a bad bag, but the zipper to the ball compartment kinda broke when the baggage people were moving it.  Still a decent bag.  It does zip but I can't zip it all the way, the zipper would come off.  But I don't travel much anymore and I would be lucky to bowl once a week nowadays.  If you travel a lot, I just don't trust the fancy rolling bags.  Would rather have simple/cheap carry bags for travelling.

The 3 ball inline totes are pretty much made by the same manufacturer as the Vise/Turbo/Ebonite/Brunswick,etc totes. The only ones that are distinctly different are the Storm/Roto tournament totes. Storm/Roto has the wheel base just slightly wider which keeps the tippage and cornering under control.

I lugged both the Storm and Vise rollers at Nationals this year. The Storm bag cornered easily and stayed upright while the Vise bag flipped over pretty much every time I had to corner
