These bags are great for the price. I just received mine a few days ago and haven't used them yet but here are the pros and cons<br /> PROS: Cheaper than the flight cases, has 2 wheels great if you aren't loading onto a cart, internal protection will keep your lights from getting banged up and will keep them looking new, small profile not taking up much space for storage.<br /> CONS: Semi hard meaning they can be crushed with enough weight, the lining inside is a thin vinyl material so since the lights are tightly packed inside I can see this lining eventually starting to tear over time. Storage pocket only goes about half as deep as the rest of the case. Still trying to figure out if I can remove the spacer in the bottom for more room. Storage pocket holds two omega clamps, 2 large C Clamps and 2 power cords but doesn't leave any room for power extensions or DMX cables. There is room however inside the case directly on top of the fixture to place extra cables around them if you don't mind cables rubbing on your fixtures. Lastly the wheel and pegs that allow the cases to stand upright aren't the most durable and just held on with rivets. I'm not sure if the wheels and pegs will stand the test of time. I've had arriba bags with similar design and the wheels and pegs lasted about 1 year so we will see.<br /> <br /> Overall if you are just looking to keep your lights protected and transport easily these are worth the money. Hard flight cases would certainly be better but those are twice the price. I bought 3 of these all together and I'm happy with my purchase. Since they aren't going to be moved daily I think these will be just fine for my purposes. <br />
