Luggage to maximize checked bag allowance

https://ift.tt/O0ZrSNP

Hi all,

I'm immigrating to New Zealand in the near future. I'd like to see if I can fit everything I want in two checked bags, plus my carry-on and personal item. Here's what I have to work with:
-One slim laptop sleeve

-One 15lb or less carry-on, fits under seat

-Two checked bags, 62" (158cm) max dimensions, 50lbs each

It looks like I can get a 120L duffle with wheels at ~4lbs, and one without wheels at only ~0.5lbs. Together that gets me an extra 7lbs of capacity. They only need to survive the one trip. Shipping extra stuff seems prohibitively expensive - better to just replace it when I get there.

Here's what I'm looking at:

I'm leaning toward trying to make due without wheels, for the weight allowance. Anyone found anything lighter with wheels? Any specific recommendations?
