Swissaire, thanks for the quick response. Appreciate that. I am actually thinking about bringing some nice chocolates to Thailand to my client, and will test that wtih a Rimowa aluminum case and will report the experience.

One more question, and I am not sure if you have experience on this also - other than the beauty factor ( the look), are there any technical/practical advantages on the Topas titanium over the regular silver color Topas?

I am inclined to spend the extra to get the Topas titanium, but I think after much use, with all the dents and scratches, this beauty factor will disappear very quickly, making the regular Topas a more practical investment.

I wish someone would be kind enough to post a photo of a "very seasoned" Topas vs a photo of a "very seasoned" Topas titanium.

Thanks.
