Yes I had a Wee Scot for a short period before I gave it away.... The Case for me is a better fit for my hand and really rocks with a shave stick.... funny enough my "56" also fits the case tube holder
Get the Berkeley!
Berkeley--and use it at home too.
I have the Case for travel. A very dense brush. It will do the job.

will the berkeley fit into the case tube?
Yes. Mine is a tiny bit taller than the tube, but it fits fine.
id pick the wee scot because i like small brushes
My recommendation would depend on what other brushes you might have and as to whether or not this brush would become part of your normal rotation. I have both a WS and a Case (in Pure) as well as a Trumper (Vulfix) Travel Brush. I use the 2 Simpson's brushes regularly and normally only use the Trumper when I am on the road.
The Wee Scot is small but does everything that a larger brush can do and the Case is also a great brush.

I have the Wee Scot and a Vulfix Turnback. Both travel well. The Wee Scot goes into an old pill bottle and takes up less room. The Turnback is great if I'm out for an extended time and want a larger brush.
go all the way and get a Major!! 
On paper, I'd pick the Case (though I haven't owned either). In my mind, the Wee Scot is just too small.
That said, the Berkeley ought to make your list to consider as well.

I put the wee scott, Tabac stick a tiny plastic bottle of Alcolado Glacial and a Muehle razor in a small zippered case and go everywhere.
The wee scott might be small but knows how to use its size, making lather

the major is a beaaaautifffful brush. meWANNA. i just can't get past the price. if i was a road warrior and was going to travel extensively, i'd definitely consider it...
Wee Scot here as well, plus a RV 18 mm Silvertip Grade A, two travel brushes...
The Wee Scot whips up a mean lather, good for at least three passes with the Arko stick in my travel case. I use the RV for Mr Taylor's cream.

I was using a caswell massey travel brush in a nice ivory tube, then I got a Wee Scot-smaller, fits perfectly into a small pill bottle, takes up less room, works great. I too have a small zippered leather case just for that brush, a small styptic, extra blades , a Feather travel razor, a tiny bottle of cologne and AS balm. I use that case when I can travel with it and just toss into the big Dopp kit.
I used a Wee Scot on my last trip and it was a great brush to take.
Have you considered the Vulfix/Trumper Super travel brush shown below? The handle looks great.
I'm unsure of the equivalent Simpson's brush. Anybody know?
