Nice quality, nice outer and inner material, that's just fine. However the handling is awsome!
Never had any other version, I am pretty much a beginner, however my luthier just wondered, i could remove the gigbag alone with one hand, while holding the upright bass straight standing with the other hand. And I could put back in there as well... No wrestling on the floor, not even four hand teamwork needed. That's cool imho.
The straps could be more comfy, the bow holder is pretty much useless as it is, unless you have a steel bow, or some unbreakable wood one.
