Hi Ken...it's generally felt that the 80 slide Carousels are better in the long run than the
greater capacity 140 slide ones. Besides the durability factor that was brought up, the
slightly greater space works much better when trying to drop either plastic mounts or older
cardboard mounts that may have damaged edges. You got a nice deal. Happy New Year.
