i have heard that the milo boxes are very very heavy and are very bulky but the matchbox pyramid are very small but fit all your stuff in. and are light. steve ringers uses them so cant be bad lol

have a milo, can get loads of attachments on the box, i dont consider them to heavy, good comfy gel seat, the only thing that was a bit disappointing was the build quality, could have been a bit better, but overall a good box, in a very competitive market.

Why don't you give the lad some proper advice?

There is only one box worth owning, and that is a RIVE, if anyone tells you they are heavy (yawn yawn) they can't afford one.

For the top of the range box with a top of the range price rive t is right the rive is solid, reliable and comfortable. However it is heavy has are all boxes in this range. If you can't justify the cost of these boxes has in my case i don't fish often enough a preston onbox is the one to go for at half the price, i have heard the stories of build quality etc but i have had no problems in 2 years of owning one and at 17 1/2 stone i'm not small. The only thing i would ensure is to get one with a gell seat. It is comfortable to sit on (not has comfy has a rive though) and you can add has many bits of kit has you want.
