Which roller camera bag?

I've currently got a few smaller shoulder bags, plus a larger rucksack; thinking of getting rid of the rucksack as it's a little small, and is rather uncomfortable to lug around all day full of gear. I'd replace it with a roller case. The usage would be the occasional trip abroad (hand luggage size/weight is important), and day trips. I have recently purchased a Sony 200-600, so need something that can hold it without taking the camera body off - thinking of one of:

Think Tank Airport Advantage

Tamrac T2510 Speedroller International

Vanguard Alta Fly 55T

The Tamrac is heavier and looks a little more solid, but lacks the shoulder straps of the Vanguard. I can't find any reviews on the Tarmac, but many rave about the others online.

Has anyone used any of these (ideally more than one), and can anyone provide any suggestions?
 
I am not sure what length your lens is but I could get a Canon 500ii f4 into a ThinkTank airport limo on a 1dx2. I am not sure that the limo is still made but if you can find a used one unless it has been badly treated I think it will work.
 
I use a Think Tank Airport International 2 as my roller bag. I get two bodies in - a 1DX2 and a 7D2 currently with a 70-200 f/2.8 L attached and a 100-400 IS L II with quite a lot of space in front which I use for shorter lenses/accessoires but a longer lens would fit. Its very well made, even if they don't look as sexy as other bags - more substance over style.

For jobs where there is a lot of grass or uneven surfaces, I switch to a Lowepro Vertex AW300, and I have a Lowepro Stealth Reporter for when a shoulder bag is most appropriate.
