To close the loop, my bag arrived this week. Just under 4 months from order to opening the box.
Dave - If you don't mind sharing what type of bag did you get? Cordura or leather?
I don't mind at all! (Once I have time I'll do a blog post with details and a comparison with the Altieri.)
Even though it weighs (and costs) a bit more I went with leather. I feel it offers better protection. I liked the various colors they offer, but since all my other stuff (Altieri music bag, hard case, electronic gear, etc.) is black, I went "understated" and got solid black leather.
Cronkhite says just to use some Kiwi Leather Lotion (or similar) a couple times a year.

Here is a photo; it shows my mouthpiece pouch partway into the storage pocket, but otherwise you get a good view of the case.
