Price, finished-ness of the final product, & ease of use, in that order.  I
use the cheapo heat-seal mounts (which I'm fairly happy with) & so far view
them only using a [blush!] cheapo steal-the-light viewer.  I've probably
gone through about 200 in the last 10 months or so.

To second a suggestion someone just made, what are the prices of the EMDEs?
I've got a flyer somewhere, but I don't think it's been unpacked yet...
