You don't understand shopping for the best price? I paid less than $1,600 for my KPA (which was still about 3x the amount I've every spent on a single piece of music gear). I will always seek out the best deal I can find for anything and everything. Feel free to spend your money the way you see fit.
BTW - I went with the Dolica GS-350 which is a perfect fit for the Kemper, padded (intended to carry camera gear), and I got it for $69.99 on eBay.

Of course I understand shopping for the best price but if you order the Kemper bag when you order the Kemper unit you can usually talk the price down on the bag if you try jut a little bit. It just seems like an awful lot of time is invested to to save just a few bucks. And then you have to install extra padding or whatever to make that purchase work with the Kemper. Does not seem worth all of the effort. But it's all good. Everybody can do whatever makes them happy.
