Buy cheap! My dealer sells generic aluminum cases with plastic front panel that weigh around 5 lbs. You know those crappy steel cases that weigh like 8 to 10 lbs because they're so thin they bend if you breath on them? The same companies are now making aluminum cases out of equally thin aluminum that might just collapse if you fart near them.

I rapped my knuckled on the side of one to see how thin it was by sound...and left dents. Previous post in jest, this post is actually true.

Reply to BlindJoker

Most aluminum cases are somewhat light, but the lightest ones get there by being thin and without bracing.
