I went back to read your original post three times before I realized the tab/tad typo, even after you pointed it out in your follow up comment. My brain auto-corrected it to “tad.” 
It’s always interesting to see the things that get overlooked on some projects, like glue that sticks well. Could you clarify what you meant by “The included case doesn’t offer much protection. It’s just sorta cheap and gets dirty way too easily.” It sounds like the finish is pretty nice from what I’ve seen and what you wrote?
It seems like the LM60 has added nearly $30 for shipping, which is a little frustrating on a $100 case. 
What are your thoughts on the Baka60 case? I noticed the case is on sale for $50 and doesn’t have the middle standoffs like the Klippe and Freebird60. I stumbled on that case and then searched this site and found your old comment about it. Do you think the case is worthwhile at that price point or better to go with the Freebird60 or Tofu instead, if I go tray mount?
