I think this model is referred to as the "Brute". Taylor Music sells 'em: http://www.1800usaband.com/htmls/itemen ... tryid=9601 The MTS cases should suffice for almost all of the adult amateurs and pros on this board (read: reasonable care taken), not sure about high school or college use.
We had basic cases with no wheels when I marched in H.S. - maybe no wheels is what kept them nice, no temptation to jump curbs or shoot them down a staircase. You had a right arm like Popeye by the end of the season. I think you would need one made out of kryptonite to keep up with the kind of idiotic abuse mentioned in the aforementioned thread.
