It's hard to tell exactly which Pelican is right for you, but I must say, I was lucky to have picked the exact one that suits my needs. AND, the whole case slides underneath my bed (clears by 1/16").
I opted for the dividers and pretty much started from scratch so I could work the lightstand, umbrella, mounts and clamp into the case. Frankly, I think I could have done a better job utilizing the space, but I was just ready get everything squared away.
Likes about the bag:
Everything. Feels indestructible. Wheels!!!
Dislikes about the bag:
Make no mistake about it, this thing is heavy. (But, that's what wheels are for!)

Reviews for Nikon D1 / D2 / D3
Review #1
(Added 5th Dec 2009)
Equipment list in bag :
Nikon D2X (slot for the D3 I used to shoot it)
Nikon 400mm f/2.8 AFS
Nikon 50mm f/1.4
Nikon 85mm f/1.4
Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S

Nikon 1.4x TC
L358 Sekonic meter
3 x Pocket Wizard
2 x Nikon SB-800
a big lens slot divided into 2 with only a card wallet and battery in it
Weird gear list I know, I wanted to show it with a bunch of random sized stuff so you could better judge its size
its really a sports kit and houses the 400 and tele, 2 big bodies, 17-35, 24-70 and 70-200 flashes are out of there bags placed in the lid organizer along with the Pocket Wizards, batteries, cards and card reader, misc wires
Likes about the bag:
Solid, I have had to ship it via UPS a couple times and that says it all right there, easy to roll one or two big cases vs. carrying several medium ones
Dislikes about the bag:
Cost is to high on all hard cases and it should come with more dividers, I could see running out if I had a lot of small items like 6 flashes and Pocket Wizards and not a big lens down the middle
thanks to The SB Image for review
