I don't like coffins, as I started out with one and it was heavy.
For years, I've used vertically stacked boxes due to space and weight considerations.
The last three years, I've gone to a SKB Mini Gig Rig. Very convenient, nice looking, professional, and all the stuff fits into a compact box that's EZ to carry (on a dolly with my SKB Amplifier Case) The Mini Gig Rig sits on the dolly first, with the "Original" SKB Case on the top. The grooves on the bottom of the "Original" case notch perfectly into the ridges on the top of the Mini Gig Rig. SKB did this purposely! So the two SKB pieces make up one dolly load.
I guess the coffin style attracts more attention due to the 'visual presentation'. If onsite WOM was important to me, I'd still be using a coffin. My "offsite" WOM is great (past clients referring clients after the fact) so no need for "visuals".
