Default Nexus Caterpillar - Any good?

Hello, I'm in for a new case. I've been looking at the Nexus Caterpillar (Silent System) case. It looks interesting, with the inverted mounting and sound proof padding.

Does anyone have any experience with it, please advise.

Seems a little over priced to me. Any case for that amount of money should have cable management. This has none. You paying for some foam and a couple decent fans. Save yourself some money

Cheaper, better made,has good cable management, just as quiet, and it comes with a solid PSU.

Actually, over here, the case you're talking about is about 120 €, and the Caterpillar is about 65. And I will never buy a case where the PSU is mounted at the top again, so stupid. I don't think the Sonata III is a better option, actually, in my opinion, that's the overpriced case.
