Does this mean that I shouldn't get an SKB pop-up mixer case for my MOTM
rig? I'm going to be taking my smallish (with one MOTM-800 disassembled
and one mult not installed, it fits into 10U high, using rack rails)
MOTM rig to a show, and the fact that my current rack case doesn't have
a 'front cover' is really starting to worry me- I discovered one of the
knobs had been scratched up pretty badly following an event- guess it
got rubbed up against something pretty hard.

So... for gigging with a smallish rig like this, what should I use?
