Max s-d, yup.
The stock case for the S9 was severely worn...I replaced with a BAM...expensive, but nowhere near as much as a Wiseman.
I had a Ritenour for awh8ile: played very nice and had excellent intonation but the keys sucked and the case was abysmal...like you, I stuffed it with foam padding.
The BAMs offer good protection, though I can't really "see" inside, while the case is closed, but the inside joint movement is what puts it out of adjustment. I try to be gentle, but when carrying horns on my back and in both hands (especially between car and gig) I can;t help jostling them around.
Last night, after a gig (just oboe and EH) I slipped coming off the stage and knocked the horn case on the floor (fortunately carpeted)...both horns look, feel and play ok, but still...any internal movement is potential trip to the tech.
