I am thinking of getting a new case and I have been looking at Bam cases. I am struggling to choose either the London or Artisto case. Both have four bow holders, slight suspension, backpack straps, zipper and semi-buckle closure, and they are lightweight. I like the London case because: it has an ID card window so you don't have to put a tag on the handle, it has a leather trim, it has a subway handle, it has a pencil holder/organizer in the music pocket, it has better reinforcement (ABS), and it looks more professional than other Bam cases. On the other hand, the Artisto case has an expandable sheet music pocket, which can come in very handy.
