I don't have that 1" end-play with my Yamaha that you have, but there is plenty of space for my hand to slip under the body tube. But at least the lower bow and ascending bell tube (up to just before the flare) are resting nicely on the plush velour.
The ProTec affords the horn good lateral support; I can't hear or feel anything rattling around when I shake the case when it's closed; and when I open the case upside down the horn rests comfortably on the key guards like it should, so vertical support seems OK.
