I ordered one of thoses front bags you're after, and don't remember the delivery/import costs to be that bad. One warning - it's not as waterproof as you'd think. We put all the clothes in there, also wrappedin bin bags and they still got wet!

cheers,
Rich

If those peli cases were 3X the depth, i'd get one. They just seem to shallow to carry anything handy
