A Flight Case Question

[baseline9]

Hello - I have ordered a new flight case for my Ashdown Klystron C410-500 combo

They are asking if I want to go for a shallow version or a built up version, see below link

I'm leaning to the shallow version,
1. The amp is big enough to go on the floor.
2. I hear bass amps sound better on the floor? (I've been playing for many yrs but ive never played through a amp off the floor, so bit unsure of what it will do to the sound?!)
3. Less distance to lift out of the base.

Actually I would like to keep the amp in the shallow tray (Just for ease) but the amp has a gap at the bottom, below the speakers and I assume this is to expel air, this will get covered up and may change the sound. Which then makes me think should I get the built up version and use the flight case as a stand!? Thats my dilemma. I'm probably thinking about it too much!

Anyway I would really appreciate any advise or experiences to help me decide

Thanks in Advance.
Mikey.

I'd go for the shallow base option. The amp will still be coupled to the floor via the casters. Saves a lift as well. If you need to raise the combo, you can still put it on the top half of the flight case.
