Been seeing some riders advertising for them, seems like a well put together kit. Wasn’t sure on quality of the wrenches and sockets themselves. I’m honestly a sucker for everything already being precut in a tidy space ready to go. Only hesitating because the lack of having any room to add personal little tools like my Fasstco spoke torque wrench.
I've got a bag with basic tools for desert days.
If I'm doing a track day practice I'll bring the socket sets and medium box with combo wrenches, plier sets, screwdrivers, etc.
Race weekends I'll add in the boxes with tire tools, power tools and torque wrenches.
I keep the specialty tools (suspension and engine tools) in the large rolling box and don't really take that anywhere, but I like having it organized
The packouts are nice because they make sense for home storage but can all fasten to each other if you want to take something on the road.
But to answer your question, I have not had any experience with the Boxo. I considered buying that or the Sonic Troy Lee set that was out a while ago, but I went with the packout build and I've been happy with it.

Ear plugs are cheap.
The problem is not with the box, it is okay. You need a hands on with the tools that are in there, the quality, and whether you need them or not.
You've already got some packouts, just keep adding. Like stantdm pointed out, having some familiarity with the tools is important and lugging around the ones you never touch is a waste. Plus, building out your own tool box is pretty fun.
No T Handles
No torque wrench
No Deep sockets
And they spelled "Carmichael" wrong...
Just another option to consider.

Im a diesel mechanic by trade and I also do most of my own bike work - and I’m a bit of a tool geek too - I use mostly snap-on as I have a good relationship with my dealer, I trust the tools I’m working with and I know any issues will be resolved quickly.
Find a manufacturer you like and go nuts!
I have an extreme tool collection. bunches of old craftsman. way to much snap-on, love blue point for the price. use some harbor freight. I carry every tool needed for anything motorcycle related. we have all brands of bikes modern and vintage. This set is $672. for a black friday sale. the only thing I am going to change when I get it is put my real knipex channel locks in the box and of course JIS screw driver will be added.. why in the hell don't they have JIS? hell why dont any of you use JIS??
