You should try the Kydex, it's much lighter than stainless steel and very durable. I got one of those Kydex trays with the CRT .5 I bought off Linc and it's good stuff. I've got a Kydex sheath for a sword and it has taken a beating and is still in good shape, I need to get my sister a car made out of this stuff
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
