Yes, I agree box strength varies.

One clarification is that I am not using the box to hold trays... so those
trays are not there to add torsional rigidity... I am usually using these
boxes for things like holding a box full of MOCs to transport to shows so I
grasp them by both sides from underneath, and that works fine. When I am
using them internally, they are holding mishmashes of loose elements
(because I let the kids free build in them)... nothing to help with strength
there.
So that system might work fine! I think I will try it next time I am
designing instead of doing kit runs. (I did a run of MTW hoppers yesterday
afternoon and it went the fastest I can ever remember it!!! Hoppers all get
sorted into one single bag, and I had all the parts already pre binned ready
to count out from. Contrast that with the SW which has 10 parts bags,
individually labeled... too many bins to do all at once)
For kit runs I probably will stick with just working directly on a table
because the parts you need are clearly identified. BUt for design you need a
lot of different stuff available.
