Right guys, my boss compact has finally packed up today. After over 20 years of faithful service I was unable to resurrect it though I tried to replace the toggle clips but the wood was split and soft and so am now in the market for a new box.

Like the look of the SS compact....know it's plastic but they all are these days. Anyone use one on here.....feedback/views?

Happy to consider alternatives around same price mark....£300-400

Please don't suggest a Rive....too bloody expensive, or an Octbox....don't like mecanno  :D

Cheers guys.

Already bitten the bullet guys and bought one after seeing it in Fosters. Used it in a match yesterday and really pleased. Needed something compact as I have a saloon for now.
Comfy seat, nice and stable although the footplate is small. Drawers slide smoothly and catches are secure. Like the flexibility - I bought an extra deep drawer until. Like the fact that the pole winder tray can accommodate 2 layers so has more than enough winder capacity for me.
