What Hard shell padded case to buy?

We bought one for our teenage son who is very serious about his music. The problem is it was expensive and it is heavy. We got a soft cover with the workstation, but he is doing more serious traveling now with more people handling it. Does anyone know what Hard padded case (preferably with rollers) will fit the TE-88? I realize that the case may be expensive, but we need to protect our investment.

I got the Road Ready model I think, has wheels on end, pretty sturdy. I didn't like the SKB as it didn't look like it'd fit the extreme well. I had to remove some foam but took it from boston to st. paul/minneapolis and back with a minor scratch on one metal edge but other than that worked very well. Got it thru Guitar Center for $200 on sale from $250. It is heavy, what do you expect in a hardshell case? It has to be sturdy! I recommend the RoadReady ones.

Love your neighbor - buy local.
Though, as much of a wonderful place Guitar Center is, I'd have to say that anyone who recommends either of the in-store brands GC carries.. Well.. I'd have to say I can't trust that person with anything. Not even my sister... if I had one..
Anvil cases might break your arm off, or your wallet, but they're some of the best in the industry. Also, SKB is far superior to RoadReady.
Also, I'd not recommend getting a PRO TEC case. They're of horrible materials. Cheap cheap cheap cheap. A friend's case had an internal screw cover (foam with cloth glued on top of it) for the wheel assembly come off and crack his end cap. He was understandably pissed. Pro Tec might be okay at making saxophone cases, but keyboard cases? You know what they say.. "Fuhget about it."
