I'm looking too -

Safe route, Bowens or Pixapro

Also considering hard external cases intended for golf bags - or - Stanley Fatmax 240L (some stands would need to be strapped to the top).

Still thinking -

Well individual choice would depend on the closed length of your preferred stands and the 'girth' of your lights. Do you need a leveling leg stand etc.? I'd be looking for larger than standard wheels and a strong handle.
I haven't homed in on anything yet.

I hope you're not planning on putting that in checked luggage.

These are good bags for light stands but your studio heads won't go in them.

I just inquired to the Amazon question/answer group about the Interfit bag. They reported that it won't fit any Matthews C-Stands.. Just the smaller three and four section AL nightstands.
