Small Double Case Opinions Desired

After reading some very good suggestions on the smallest commercially available double cases (A and Bb) for clarinet on the market (thank you,) I was wondering what people might think of something like the following:

http://www.casesgalore.com/doublesidedhandgunpistolcase.aspx

It's a double sided 12" X 9" X 6" pistol case, which is more than adequate in size to fit on any 1 side, my larger "A" clarinet, let alone a "Bb" clarinet, including basic accessories (e.g. some reeds, grease, bells and 2 mouthpieces.)

Of course, I would need to confirm that the partition between each side is nothing but foam, as each clarinet's bell, which I would by design not place the widest part of directly above/below in the case when storing my instruments in it, is wider than the width of either equally sized side.

Searches of the board have shown some people happy with the use of such cases for their instruments, which typically feature egg crate foam on either or both sides of an instrument, that allow the instrument's pieces to stay in 1 place relative to the case, but don't bend delicate keyword either.

I'd probably want egg crate foam on both sides of an instrument, but flat foam on one side of a clarinet, and egg crate foam on the other would likely suffice.

Thoughts?

Thanks

(With jest: think of the options during 1 size clarinet auditions? The other side of the case could another kind of instrument: "an audition position changing one," not dissimilar in attributes to what the case was originally intended for. (wink)

Of course I kid!
