Default Tool boxes

I would love a Snap On KRL series tool box top and bottom combo, but they are too pricey (even the used ones on ebay). What do folks recommend? The Snap-On Professional Series is pretty sweet. How about Mac or Matco, which is better? Any others?

Sam's Club has a nice Stainless Steel box in the $600. range. I plan on getting one. I'd post a link, but I have seen it in the store, and I can't find it on their site. Those pro boxes are sweet, but I don't have 10k worth of tools, so I don't need a 10k tool box.

Talk to some Snap -on dealers (trucks). Guys are always trading up or quiting ,some repo's. Give them your name and they can usually find you one used. NOBODY pays retail, huge margins in boxes, lotsa dealing. Love my Mac, but for the money, those stainless boxes are good. You can fill a lot of draws for the difference in price.
