Thank you. This is exactly the kind of feedback, good or bad that I was
looking for. The Pro-Tec that I was looking at, on _www.finecases.com_
(http://www.finecases.com) is about $180 delivered to me. I saw a Kaces at my local
GC, but I don't like the fact that it has external supports on the back
running across the short width of the case. The Pro-Tec I saw on line has
external reinforcement runners that run lengthwise. I feel that this is great for
the occasional stair or curb that I might pull it up. I'm glad the rest of
the quality seems to be up to snuff. I move my own equipment for small bar
gigs or such. So I don't need airline quality stuff for baggage handlers.

Thanks again,
Gene
