Default ez mount regular or thin?

Regular or thin? I've just spent the past 2 hours looking around and I'd like your opinions. I intend to mount them on plastic sheets. And - does it matter if it's the name brand? I see some of my fav stores sell a generic brand for the same price.

And who has it cheapest these days? (today?) I need to get all my recent purchases into binders.

Come on. Please? I know you have an opinion on this. Please just let me know what you think. Perhaps it's a stupid question because thin is only supposed to be used for stamps 1" or smaller or ones that already have foam?

For my stamps that I put in binders, I usually use thin because you can get more in the binder. In the future, I will probably buy only thin because it also fits a little better in CD cases. Most of my stamp fit fine in them with the regular EZ-Mount but sometimes the rubber is so thick that it is a tight fit in the CD case. I still have sheets of the regular so I am still using that. I don't know who has the best price right now but I think many people buy it here http://sundayint.com/index.asp?PageA...TS&Category=57. HTH.

I like the thick. Kittie Kits from Rubbernecker come on thin which is my only experience with it. It's certainly easier to cut for smaller images, but personally I'd buy the thicker.

I just got some thin EZ Mount and I like it. I don't really notice a difference when I stamp images. They seem to stamp just fine. The thin does make it easier to store the stamps in my binders. I have never tried off brand EZ Mount. I think that I want to stick with the stuff I know works because my stamps are an investment I am not willing to risk, ya know?

I like the thick. I store my stamps in cd cases and have no problems.

I like the thick stuff, but for my "itty-bitty" stamps, they seem to hold their balance better with the thinner mount.

I prefer the thick, and have remounted every single one of my stamps, even SU's cling stamps. I use the sheets in a binder and the SU cases.

I prefer the thin ez mount. The stamps just take up less room storing them when using the thin.

I like THICK ezmount. Tried the thin and a thin cheap brand and did not like how it stamped or how the images came out. Fits in CD cases fine.

I have tried both and I prefer thin hands down. EZ mount is the only one I use, mainly because I haven't looked for generics.
