Diki,
I certainly wouldn't argue any of your points about the hard case. I never play with others and carry my equipment from my house to the car - about 30 feet. Then at the gig it goes on a cart. No one is ever allowed to help or touch the equipment and so far I have never had a problem with that while loading or unloading. I had a gator case with wheels for my Korg PA1X and it about killed me getting it in and out of my car. Sold it all due to the weight. Not only am I getting older I am also not a very big guy - so weight is important to me.

I suppose if anything ever did happen to the T3 I would fall back on my PSR3000 for the night.
