Roll up toolbag/rolls?

I've never really been satisfied with any sort of portable tool storage,I usually just load up a one of the several plastic cleaning sort of totes I have then put everything back once I am done. But I was looking around and saw these sort of canvas roll up bags and the look like what I am after since each pouch can be dedicated to a certain roll. Problem is there seems to be a lot of them, ranging in price quite wildly and look mostly the same. Anyone have these sorts of rolls and what are the good ones to buy?

I have an Atlas 46, with wrench rolls on the back and removeable via velcro pouches on the inside. It gets real heavy fast, and is still pretty big. Once the pouches get very much in it it looses it's ability to be a 'roll'.

When I was working in the field I always used a clamshell box and a GI toolbag, I still use the GI style toolbags all the time.

I don't plan on loading it down too much, at least with this form factor it'd reward me for taking less since it'd be a smaller package. That's the problem with boxes and bags for me, if there is empty room I feel like it's wasted, so I put more stuff in, then after a while you end up with 50 pound box syndrome and have to paw through a pile for a few minutes looking for the stuff that's relevant. But too small I end up not being able to fit certain things in. I like the separate pouches idea because I could segregate everything into it's individual compartments, pliers/wrenches, drive tools etc.

I just browse thru the ones on Amazon. If I don't like it, it's easy to send back for a different one.

I’ve got one I got it at Ace Hardware it works great I use it to keep some extra tools in that I transport sometimes. It’s brown and green can’t remember the name on it and it’s made in USA too.

I have a bucket boss tool roll I altered to get the wrenches to fit how I wanted them to but in doing so discovered the quality was not great, the stitching I was trying to remove was just falling apart. That being said it's good enough to work but you will likely get better results from materials to construction to layout by making one yourself.
Here are a couple previous tool roll threads, lots to look through.
