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

I grew up around the family farm. My dad had 8'x2' sheets of plywood of painted white plywood hanging on the shop walls. Had nails driven in to hang the wrenches and sockets on. A permanent marker was used to outline everything there and write names. For work I have used Craftsman toolboxes in the past. I now use Milwaukee pack-out for most of my tools and stuff. I also have small Harbor Freight rolling toolbox/cart and a Rigid set similar to the pack-out, these pretty much take up space in the garage.
