Carry case for Litepanels Astra

I've just bought a Litepanels Astra 1x1 and need something to carry it around in. I know that Portabrace make a couple of bags designed for the Astra but because of the additional size of its fixtures it won't fit in many other 1x1 panel bags. The Portabrace bags are (unsurprisingly) on the expensive side -- $250+, so I'm wondering if anyone has an alternative?

Something that can carry a stand or two would be an added bonus (one of the Portabrace bags carries one).

Thanks
 
The Astra's are ridiculously big. I have two. I bought the PB bag/case for them(designed for two). Probably about the best current solution out there. BTW, before the PB bag was released, the only case I had big enough to carry both of them together was a friggin' Pelican 1650.
 
Thanks, yeah that's what I'm thinking. I only have one and don't intend on getting another just yet but I'm sure I'll fill the extra space in that bag. Do you carry stands separately or do you have lightweight ones that fit in too?
 
No. Stands seperately. In the PB bag I have both of the Astra's, the two(too short) power cords that shipped with them plus two 25 footers I bought from Markertek that are MUCH more useful.

I bought two of these bags as well. I agree - best current option to carry two Astras. Still has lots of room for ext. cords, batteries, the soft box (if you get it), etc.

The bag has a decent amount of padding but is similar to most PB designs - not much rigidity to the bag and nothing in terms of bumpers or feet.
