I can afford a Pelican, but honestly even if I had 10k worth of EP's it still would make more sense to me to put them in my clone which is EVERY bit as good and infact holds an edge due to price point, With the money I saved I could have 10.2K worth of EP's

Well said Madtuna.
Here's another baseline on whether to get yourself one of these Pelican cases:
1. are yoy likely to drive your car over it?
2. are you likely to be caught in a flood?
If the response is no or not likely - save the $200 and use it towards premium eyepieces.
A lot of stuff in China is made of rubbish, but here is an interesting story:
A well known electrical manufacturer of powerpoints etc found a clone copy of their product in shops. After investigations and research, the clone product was found to be superior in every way as the original and a fraction of the price.
I sometimes wonder when we pay top $$$ for brand names at so called reputable places if in fact we are getting the real deal - I think most of us would be none the wiser.
