You're funny... "Should I get a big tool box, or a bigger tool box?"
When I did this professionally, a toolbox with a single layer of tools
allowed me to work much faster, and allowed me to see what tools were
missing at the end of every job. I only one failed to remove all my
tools from a customer's car before I released it. (If you've found a
Craftsman 22mm combination wrench on the road sometime in the last 40
years, it's mine).
The Garage Journal thinks highly of the Harbor Freight cabinets, and
they may be a price savings over Craftsman...but don't forget to check
your local Sears Outlet if you have one. I got a 41" top box for
something like $120 once.
