Hi Adrian,
If your planning to travel with your scope, go for the UTA hardcase.
I've got the padded soft fabric for the truss poles, it does the job well.
There is also the optional soft covers for the Rocker box/mirror cell from Astrosystems.
Don't forget a cover for the scope itself when fully assembled and not in use (home or at an Astrocamp).
These add up to the final price, but you can't really go without any of them, especially if you want to protect your investment
Cheers Norm
PS: I recently made a box to fit the argo stalk/argonavis and telrad when transporting it around. See if Peter has a contact to make one up.
I tried to keep the cost down when making my box, but ended costing me around $180 (spray paint, handles, latches etc add to cost). Don't even get me started on the foam!! Honestly - get one made up - works out cheaper and will probably look better too!
