Brett, your work set a high standard, and inspired me to contribute.

I have been thinking about your design. Perhaps an interesting ABA test would be lid on versus off. What I'm thinking is the wedge sides would limit vortices feeding the bed bubble. Those who need to haul something a little taller might not incur too much aero penalty (compared to fully open box) by simply removing the lid. It could be a selling point if test data supports the hypothesis.
