This looks pretty good. I have a similar size one but it's aluminum and
is falling apart. I got it at Home Depot (or Lowes) based on
recommendation from someone here or on harp-l and it's crap - handle
broke off causing case to fall to street, shoulder strap broke off, etc.
So I'm shopping around and might consider this, it says it's tougher
than the aluminum ones and if built for expensive telescope/camera gear
I'd expect that.

But - my vision is to get multiple sets of pluck foam and have them act
as inserts for the various configurations I use. For example when I'm
traveling with my digitech pedal unit I want that in the case. When I'm
using the amp instead I want to put more mics and such in the case. So
the price of the extra pluck foam really scares me off on this - it's
more than half the cost of the whole case!
