Rack - flight or hardcase?

[wizay]

Hi there! Im currently building up a rack, buying components and stuff. I need a 5 unit rack, should i get a flightcase, or a hardcase (like a SKB or Gator)

Thanks !

What's your transport situation?

The contents of my rack wants a hardcase. My car, and my back mean they're currently in a 6u rackbag. The bag isn't coping well but it was cheap, and light. My guitarist has a great full flightcase, but it takes two people to lift it, so it's not an option for me.

It really has nothing to do with protection or cost. Get whatever you'll be able to carry.
