I am the opposite. I wish more guitars, generally speaking, had an option of a fitted hard case like PRS do. I live with other people who can sometimes be idiotic and clumsy. I don't like my guitars sitting around in soft cases. I do put them in the car and travel with them, I hate hearing them shift around in the back in a soft case. The hard cases are just security, and I've never had a problem with them being too bulky or cumbersome.
Don't get me wrong, PRS make some fine gig bags. I just find a lot of the really top notch bags are the same prices or more than good sturdy hard cases, and even when they have "neck support" they will never protect the guitar's neck the way a fitted hard case does.
No doubt, hard cases offer great protection. There is one other excellent option for travel that’s kind of a “best of both worlds” thing, and 11Top made reference to it: one of the well-fitted hybrid bags.
My only experience with one was when Fender was making the John Mayer model; it came with an Incase bag. I had no interest in a Strat, but GC sold me one of the bags separately, and I used it mostly for a CU22 Soapbar whose case wasn’t in good shape. These cases had stiff foam with a lightweight shell outside the foam, under the exterior of the bag.
It fit the guitar very well; there was about the same amount of movement inside the case as the French-fit hard cases that PS and Artists come in - which is to say, almost zero. It had an excellent neck support, too.
Most protective gig bag I’ve ever seen or used. Naturally, Incase stopped making their guitar bags.
The only thing that was missing for me was that a wooden case absorbs and releases moisture just a bit, which helps buffer humidity changes, and wood tends to buffer heat and cold better than nylon and plastic. So for my usual home studio needs, I prefer a case. But for traveling? Those bags are fantastic.
I’ve since taken a look at the Reunion Blues Continental, the Mono, and the cases 11Top pointed out, and all were nice, but the now-discontinued Incase was a cut above, for real. I wish they still made them.
