[QUOTE="brassnautilus, post: 2167955, member: 74300"]That's a terrific idea guys, digital catalog (or printed copies) with physical indexes, like in a library. Keeps it neat, while easy to access/modify. I guess it would be ok to just label the trays this way, and use the column and row counts for indexing. Since lighthouse and lindner have different dimensions, I must go one system or the other. This seemed actually a harder choice, they each have pros and cons, and company locations. I'm more leaning towards Lindner though, despite it will be more trouble to get them in the US, they seemed to have more variants. The locker kind of setup isn't necessarily for me. I don't carry them anywhere, and I'd much preferred a tray cover instead of individual capsules. Had always dreaded closing and opening capsules. As for inserts, think I'll start with a mixture of different types, but mostly the top type on P's stack, smaller squares, they seemed the most versatile. Hopefully lindner has the dark blue color available for those, but wouldn't be a deal breaker if they didn't. My dad collects watches and he had always been telling me to switch to trays, more formal he says :) I just like the easier access.
