Are vacuum-pump bags worth it over roll-up bags for travel?

For most travelers, roll-up bags are the better trade-off. The Wirecutter pick in our data set is a no-pump roll-up design, and r/HerOneBag and r/onebag threads repeatedly flag pump-style bags for losing suction mid-trip and adding a fragile component you have to lug around. Vacuum pumps make more sense for at-home seasonal storage than for travel.
