Funny, I've known these mounts but never really thought
they were the equivalent of the Albion mounts in cardboard.

For one thing, they are fold-over mounts while the Albion
mounts are a single piece of Aluminum.  I was just thinking
that my cardboard version of Albion will also be a nice
single (but rather stiff) piece of cardboard?  Why a
foldover?  Foldover mounts require a second step, that
of folding the mount and taping the two pieces together.
I just don't think this is necessary in a easy to
use inexpensive mount.
