Lyre Maestro Trem or Bigsby Trem?

I don't know about the Bigsby, but the Maestro shouldn't stop the case from closing as long as the arm isn't bent too far up.

I have an SG Special with a Bigsby and a faded SG Special with a Maestro (long box without the Lyre engraving), and I like the Maestro better. My Bigsby wouldn't hold tune, so much so that I pulled the spring out and blocked it off with a Marshall amp knob. The Maestro I have seems to keep tune perfectly for such a simple design, and even though it doesn't fully hide the bridge posts it looks so good I never notice them. I just acquired an old used Bigsby B-5 to install on a Les Paul Special which I hope will do better than my other one (I'm hoping maybe I just got a bad spring or something.) And both fit in their cases with the bar on just fine for me.
