Best all-around bass shipping trunk?

I've just sold my David Gage rental shipping trunk. It was several years old when I bought it in 2002. It's done one heck of a job (no "Brownie" jokes, please). I'm looking to replace it wih one or two more trunks and want to enetertain suggestions for your favorite shipping trunk(s).

While the Kevlar ones are great (I've never tried one) I just want to bring up the convenience of the sturdy plywood models that have been around for some time. They're mcuh much lighter (didn't exceed 50 lbs when I was flying with it) and still great. Might want to look into a couple of those.

cheaper too!

will call you soon about the rental

cheers
