I guess the main question is do you have a workshop or do you have move tools around? I wanted a chest but it just wasn't practical for me...

How do you find the 200 piece set? It worth getting that over the 150 and 170 piece kits would you say?

I'd say its worth it over the smaller ones yeah.

When me and Rowell did his 6 gearbox upgrade this year we soon found his one (150 iirc) was missing important sized spanners and some deep sockets iirc. My 200pc had everything we needed. Only thing it doesn't have is a long bar, or a 'thing' to make a bar out of extensions like the older, smaller set I had...not a problem at home as I have one, but I don't carry it in the car.

I've stripped 3 306s with this kit, engine change, changed a few clutches, cambelt, several services etc etc, use it as my main kit.

I tend to be pretty hard on tools and haven't broken any sockets yet! Just a torx bit and a hex bit lol, both replaced immediately FOC though.
