Is it worth paying extra for a wheeled cooler?

Reviewers say it depends on terrain. Wheeled coolers like the Igloo Trailmate and Coleman's 100-quart wheeled Classic are praised for parking-lot-to-campsite hauls, but smaller plastic wheels struggle on sand and gravel, and the added hardware can be a leak point. If you're moving a loaded 70+ qt cooler more than a few yards, wheels are usually worth it.
