Looking for a hard case for a DJI Mavic Pro

So now that my Mavic Pro is on its way, I am trying to find a really study hard case for it when I'm throwing gear into the trunk of a car. Pelicans are my go-to and except for the whole weight issue, I really trust my gear in these Pelican cases. So naturally, I went straight to see if Pelican offered a custom case for the Mavic Pro.
The best quick solution I found so far is this one from AerialMediaPros.com which is a custom Pelican 1450 with pre-cut holes for the drone, batteries, and some other accessories. Perfect, except I didn't want to pay $200 for it.
Mike Mikkelson made his own with a Pelican 1400 case and Kaizen foam. I've never loved Pelican's Pick N Pluck foam and never knew that another company made more precise foam inserts for Pelican cases. This one seems like a much better fit if you want your gear hugged tightly. The Kaizen foam is completely customizable and seems like the best option for the price (altogether it comes out to about $100 and a little DIY time).
The third option I've looked into is My Case Builder which is a little more complicated but with the right dedication, you can seriously spec out some foam to be exactly right for your Mavic Pro. The site's not the easiest to use, just FYI.
