While I like my Pelican I never use it. To start off with it weights around 25 lbs, that's 1/2 of the 50 lb limit for luggage. In comparison, my soft side suitcase is around 8 lbs and has roughly the same volume. I have enough trouble keeping the weight down to 50 lbs per bag as it is, giving up 15lbs -18 lbs for the hard case is not worth it. In addition, it screams "expensive stuff inside" which makes it a more interesting target for theives. A small hard case for my camera in carryon is one thing, but there is no real advantage for checked gear.
