Weight

Re: Weight

I've seen LS9-16 road cases that weigh 40 pounds more than the case I use.

Weigh your road case, add 26 pounds for the LS9-16, and add 20 to 25 pounds for packing.
(assumes you are shipping the board inside the road case)
 
Re: Weight

If weight is an issue I would look at getting a Pelican. My DM1k travels in a 1660 which doesn't add too much weight. I think an LS9-16 might fit in something smaller since I don't think it is quiet as large as a DM1k with meterbridge.
