Ok, I'll bite. What's the $100 difference between Taylor's Aero Case and Structured Gig Bag???

A whole lot of protection…the aerocase is on par with the hard case in terms of protection. Stop by any Taylor dealer and check them out. I got one for my 322e and am traveling with that some now, fantastic case so far.

I agree with FF. The Aero Case (which I got with my GS mini Koa Plus) is more comparable to a hard case than a gig/hard bag. Another nice feature (which you don't get with a hard case) is the shoulder straps which you can tuck away in a zippered area, if you don't want to use them. Whether it's worth the added price is something you will have to decide for yourself.

There's no comparison with the physical protection or humidity protection.  These new cases by Taylor and Martin (and probably others) are not like any prior "gig" bags I've ever had (and still have). They really are wonderful and defy their names.  They are a pleasure to carry.
