which bike travel case should i ge?
I found this B&W bike case interesting so I was looking around for similar cases and I found a case that looked the same but it was called Team bike case and it was black.
Does anybody know of the difference? Besides the price, I cannot tell.

The black case from performance is smaller by 1.5"x4.7" but .8" wider. This info was very easy to find on the sites you provided.

Get Trico's Iron Case; its a very popular case and the price is around the prices of the one's you listed above.
I recently had mine repaired at a luggage shop (yea I was doubtful too, but they are experts at buckle replacement) after a buckle got broken by baggage handling. I even trust my primary road bike (orbea orca) to it.

I wasn't concerned about the size difference as much as how they differ in protecting my bike. I see that the B&W case comes with wheel bags and the other does not, but I wonder why the price is so much higher. That's what gets me.
