Problem with hard luggage is, if you've ever really travelled with your luggage (ie, put it on your shouder / back / walked with it for days / are in an 'interesting' country - they're a pain in the ass, they're an obvious target, and they're a pain in the ass.
Most people travel with so much useless shit. Here's a game: next time you travel, pack your bag, and take one thing out. The time after that, take out another thing. You'll get down to a point where you have some basic conveniences, and that's all you need. At worst: you can always buy a pair of underpants.
Last year, had a business trip to hong kong for a week, followed by two weeks in the middle of nowhere in Cambodia. I managed to pack everything (including my work laptop) into a 15L backpack. It's a very liberating experience!
