Well I ended up getting the new Fender ABS. It looks a lot like the SKB ABS case. Apparently the GC in Atlanta doesn't stock the Tweed or Tolex Fender cases. They had this ABS that someone didn't want when buying a new Strat. They had a Tweed, but the manager wouldn't let me buy it (and it had some small rips, etc. in it anyway).

There's not a whole lot of extra storage space in the new ABS Strat case. The latches match and click tightly. They seem beefy. The guitar fits very snugly--no side to side movement and has support for the entire neck. Not bad for $100 considering the SKB is $120.
