I vote not wheels, too. But that’s partly because I have my own home-made base which is not too heavy. Additional considerations:
– Will the case be able to store the WEPS with the vise attached to the base?
– How many additional stones/strops and other stuff (sharpie, loupe, handle, stropping compounds, …) can be stored?
We’ve get it set to hold all the contents of the PP2 assembled, so room for the sharpener on its base with the vise and rise assembled, 100-1000 diamond plates, micro-fine ceramics, 1.0/0.5 strops, angle cube, 4 additional stone/strop sets, marker, loupe, alignment guide, knife brace etc…[/quote]
Sounds to me like it will be worth every penny of whatever price you come up with!
