: Yeah, I Wanted the SKB for better protection, but the weight of the case and the price differential swayed me. I figure, when I can come up w/the bread, I'll buy the SKB and use it when I need to - read:when I'm worried about packing it with other stuff that might eff up my board cause the softie isn't exactly DOT approved, if ya know what I mean. In addition, I couldn't find the SKB for the 88 key 8.1 w/wheels for < 380$!
The QS8 fits a 76 key case, you don't have to spring for the big 88. Since the pitch and mod wheels are above and not beside the keys, my QS8.1 fits the 76key size SKB like a glove, like it was custom made for it. Online it's like $240 or so. I got mine from a Sam Ash in Clearwater FL for $224 or something.
