I now have (2) AB 800's, and the included bags for each one. Does anyone recommend a different option (case or bag) to carry them in?

Plus I have to carry the included light stands and umbrellas.

Jerermy,

I use one of those large sport/hockey equipment bags. I cut a hole between the main compartment and one of the end compartment so my lightstand will fit in all the way.
I use the other end compartment for extention cords
I load my modifiers first followed by the stand and final the strobes (in their AB case )on their sides last.

The box they came in. Or at least for now.

If you only have two ABs then the lightstand bag (or an equivilant) and the two AB travel bags should work well.

For traveling with 3 or 4 ABs I use a large gym style travel bag and put the lights into the AB travel bags and then into the larger bag, just for easier carrying and then lightstand bag, because the heavy duty 13ft stands won't fit in anything else.

However, I did consider using a Hardig Storm Case (or a Pelican) for air travel. If you travel frequently with the ABs then I would consider that option, otherwise if like me I only travel with them out of my local area occasionally, the AB travel bags that came with them work quite well.

Just my opinion,
