I also ordered one of the bigger ones awhile back and found that it was just too heavy with everything loaded up to carry everywhere. I went back to my old Genck case for normal appointments and used the Duluth bag to hold all my repair materials including stringing stuff. It generally sits in the car but it holds pretty much anything I might need. That way, I'm not lugging everything inside for what often amounts to a simple tuning/voicing/regulation type stuff.
