Question Case Upgrade for Martin D 14 Fret?

What cases in the "up to $200" price range should I consider for a 14 fret Martin Dreadnought? Current case is the 345 which I'd say is okay...but just okay. Martin branding would be nice, but not necessary.

Does anyone have any experience with Martin case #12C0062 (faux alligator brown)? Elderly carries this one for $215 (a little more than I want to spend), but it sure looks nice.

Probably wouldn't upgrade a case unless I was getting better protection. Without moving up to a flight case, I'd think about a Hiscox. Great protection and lighter than the Martin Geibs. Bit over the price range you state but less would seem like a lateral move for the money spent.
