Have a plano as well but mine was cheaper than that when I got it. It weighs 10lbs empty but im not carrying it any long distance, house-to-truck and vice versa. Also it not only stores my bow with quiver and full set of arrows but also gloves, hats, face masks, bino, rangefinder, release, arm guard, string wax, scent waffers and spray...everything. And I know its all safe protected in the case and not thrown everywhere in the truck. I also wouldnt call it a true hard case, its plastic nothing metal but lock washers to attach the arrow holders. Better than the soft but not a big expensive hard case either. A happy medium and Im happy with mine.
4 years ago when I bought my first bow it came with a flambeau hard case. Sold the bow but the hard case fits just fine for my bowtech
