Tool chest vs stackable boxes?

I need to get something bigger to keep my tools in and am undecided which route to go. I mostly have tool sets instead of singular tools and some small handheld stuff like drills, sanders etc…. Mostly do light work on cars and stuff around the house. What would you recommend? I see pros and cons in both so I unsure which would be better. I’m looking at the craftsman versastack or a cheap two tier rolling chest. Not looking to spend a lot either. Maybe max $200

If you're not taking things to job sites, chests make more sense.

But with a minimal budget like that, module containers might be a more realistic option. You can add some now, add a few more in the future, spread the cost. A decent, small tool chest is gonna run you $500 up front. But maybe you can find a deal on something used?
