thanks for the suggestions, guys. T's all around!
i ended up going to ritz camera and picked up a nice quantaray bag for 60 bucks. it holds everything except the mini-me easily. if i decide to run the mini-me, then i'll probably have to use a smaller bag just for batteries. of course, if i end up liking the FR2 enough to buy it, i may just get rid of the mini-me.
by the way, anyone need a big-ass targus rakgear bag?
