Those are the two cases I am looking at. Can anyone give me recommendations for a case in this range? I like the way the second one actually has springs, which I dont believe the OSP does. Does normal foam work well as a shock system?

I am looking for something 12-16 spaces high, shock-proof, and 18+ inches wide. I know ive posted a couple times on here looking for a case, but I just can't seem to find one that I feel comfortable about.

I'm looking to spend under $400 (but for 400 i would prefer a 16space)

to get something that is really shock proof, you are going to have to spend more than $400. most cases in that size that are true shockmount worthy are in excess of $800. that being said, i have an osp case and its fine for me. i got it from guitaraudio on ebay. it was the cheapest vendor at the time for it. whether the foam would actually protect it or not, most likely not since it's only about an inch. most good foam-based shockmounts are 2" or more.
