I'll throw this out knowing SOMEONE will run a different direction with it....
Here goes....
Do the extra 2 or 3 inches make a difference?

So let me get this straight? You're really asking if size matters?
I have found I have plenty of room in my 22". I usually carry my shoes, jacket, towel, two of everything else, including pants, shirts, socks, etc., rule books and notebooks, small Tupperware container for my whistles, and another container for gum, mints, comb (for those that need one), nail clippers, tissues, liquid soap, shampoo, etc. I still have room to add more if needed, so I don't feel jammed in yet. Some people (...coughTannercough...) might need a little more room because they bring more stuff with them, or they might have two sets of shirts, say HS and college. I suppose there's also the issue of the size of the official - the guy who is 6'5", with size 14 feet, will probably need a bigger bag just because their stuff takes up more space than say, other vertically-challenged officials who frequent (and used to frequent) this forum.
I have always purchased my cases from Kohl's. They usually have a good, inexpensive selection, usually bigger than say, WalMart. But it doesn't hurt to keep an eye out for bargains.
