If the damage to the luggage is due to the negligence of the responsible party, it is permissible to demand compensation equal to the value of the damage or the suitcase, and there is no need to mention the discounted purchase price. As long as the company has agreed to compensate you, there is no harm in benefiting from the compensation, even if the concerned party repairs the suitcase and pays its value; you are permitted to benefit from it after or before its repair.
