Raxxess Converta vs SKB Mini Gig Rig/Roto Roller vs ???

2004-09-27 by paolovalladolid

I've been looking for a while now for a more efficient solution to 
lug around my gear than the MP7 gig bag + duffel bag + backpack combo 
I've been using.  Ideally, this would be an all-in-one transport 
solution on wheels, as our band rehearses in an apartment on the 5th 
floor of a building (with an elevator, thank goodness).

I'd like to get a rack for my MOTU 828MkII audio interface and an 8x8 
MIDI interface (to replace my current 2x2 MIDI interface), which are 
both rackmountable.  It seems to me that a rack case with a popup top 
would be the most space efficient way to incorporate my XL7 into a 
rack, with the added bonus of the XL7's control surface being 
horizontal instead of vertical.  In addition, I'd like the rack case 
to have a shelf or drawer to store my Nord Micromodular, Electro-
Harmonix EH16, cables, etc.  So far I have found two products that 
match what I'm looking for:

Raxxess Converta:

SKB Mini Gig Rig + Roto Roller

The SKB combo above costs more but looks more bulletproof.  Anybody 
have experience with these or know of related models by other 
manufacturers to check out?
