I had two problems to solve:
- shoving the footcontroller on top in the old bag is annoying and just barely fits (not designed for it)
- the handle was already annoying and just disintegrated during the past year
So the Gator bag definitely solves those issues and overall it feels much higher quality. More padding, the strap feels like it won't break (like the official one is proven to do), solid handle that doesn't bend. It is a tad bigger but still feels compact. The pockets are identical sizes to the official one.
