Not sure about the pick & pluck kind, but while living in California a few years ago, I was guided by my old studio partner to a custom bedding supply store. Large sheets of closed cell foam, which they had in stock, set me back about $145, 2007 prices.
I was able to re-foam three briefcase sized, and two large Halliburtons, one for portable lighting, cords, reflectors, batteries and heads, and one for Pentax 67 kit. All but one of the smaller cases was set up for lenses, the deepest for camera bodies and a few lenses of various lengths. Leftovers cushioned my oculars, guiders, finder scope and Barlows in my 8" Celestron kit. On Nov 29, 2011, at 09:32 , P. J.
