I don't know if this is the same model WW&BW bag mentioned earlier, but I bought a leather "Gard" bag (their house brand) about a year ago. You can't beat a leather gig bag for less than $300, and this one seems especially well made. It is, if anything, *over*-padded, and the straps and handles are sturdy. I personally like a side-loader better than a top-loader (and this one is side load). I was told they're made in South Asia, and the quality is quite high.
As a Rudi Meinl player, I confess to knowing nothing of Mirafone dimensions, but the large size Gard leather bag fits my 4/4 5-valve Rudi CC like a glove. I've been very happy with mine and can't recommend it to strongly.
