rolling suitcases for light head transport? at DVinfo.net

Has anyone used the rolling suitcases with expandable handles as their light head transport I have seen them for sale on Britek's site and assume they are partitioned for their lights. I know the plain ones you see everywhere are inexpensive but not partitioned. Has anyone tried this and been able to section them out?

Good question as this is exactly what I had planned to do.I have taken measurements and have been working on a mockup.Everything looks like it will work except my light stands only collapse to 36" and the largest bag I measured is 30" tall inside.I'd be curious if someone has one that holds the stands.
The big box style(aka redheads kit box) if getting heavier( maybe I'm getting older..... no , it's getting heavier) and I like the wheels idea.
