I have the silver glide Odyssey case. I bought it new off eBay for $260 shipped, and the seller I used was great at getting it to me quick. That's the best price I've found and they are definitely in stock. Here's their auction, just make an offer for $260 if you want it:

The cheapest I found the black one for was $325, and honestly it seemed like a lot of money to pay for powder coating. I'm actually thinking it might be a fun weekend project to paint the silver aluminum candy red. Will go nice with those translucent red NS7 vinyls Numark just released.
Anyways, my impressions of the case: Definitely heavy-duty (as in it weighs almost 100lb with the NS7 inside), and a pain in the ass to lift up yourself because the only two handles are on the far sides. The rollers on one end work fine, so long as you're not rolling it farther than from the back of your car to the booth.
The glide shelf is nice and wide, and has a lip in the front to keep your laptop from slipping onto the NS7. It feels more stable than the NS7's built-in stand, but on the other hand the shelf makes it harder to access the loop and crate controls on the top of the NS7 because it covers them. You can push it back farther, but then you lose some stability. Naturally, you could always just slide the shelf off and use the NS7 stand if you wanted to - but you do need to have the shelf attached for transport as it provides extra padding for the NS7 up top when the case is closed.
The bottom keyboard tray is made for the way overpriced $100 (and generally not needed with the NS7) Odyssey SL2 keyboard, and doesn't see much use from me.
The construction of the case is decent - I think it can definitely take a good amount of abuse, but it's not going to win any beauty pageants. It looks like someone with a fair amount of skill made it in their garage.
My biggest gripe with the case is that the opening on the back isn't wide enough for all the cables. I don't think it's even possible to connect the NS7 to XLR inputs while it's inside the case. Even my RCA cables require a bit of fidgeting to connect. This a major issue for a case, and one that I didn't expect to encounter.
Overall I'd say that for well under $300 this is a solid case that will serve you well so long as you understand its limitations and are willing to take the NS7 out of it if you'll be using XLR inputs. In any case, it doesn't seem like there are any true alternatives - and you definitely don't want to transport this baby naked.
