I was moving from Abilene, TX to Rapid City, SD and thought I should
protect my investment rather than trust the movers to do the right thing
in packing my telescope.  I purchased a Pelican 1560 from Adorama (total
with foam about $160 shipped, you can find people with free shipping but
their price point is higher and beware of the no foam people!).  It
barely fits the ETX 125 PE in depth and width, so I'd caution people who
are looking to purchase this particular case but it does work and has a
decent price advantage over the 1600 series listed on your site.  The
sight is pushed down a bit when you close the case; but with the
upgraded mount it seems to do fine with the packing foam as a base
underneath it.  There is some room for accessories as you can see from
the pictures.
