Well, I answered the question fully and unambiguously. Maybe a more detailed question will follow...

Spicer are the largest UK manufacturer & are everywhere. The range looks rather tired now to me and the newest additions as premiered at Focus I reckon are too dear for what they are.

For a change try http://www.gfsmithphotomount.co.uk/
You don't have to order set numbers of overlays with Smiths. You don't have that problem with Spicers if you use their Montage album design software (I think you said you do) but Montage only works for their groups products. Other software like PhotoJunction works with any album including top of the range Queensberry. Smiths are very good for supplying samples of pages and overlays - though you do have to buy sample albums of course as with anywhere else.

What was the question anyway?

One step at a time guys.
I've only just got into the album scene andI'm treading very carefully as there is too much for my tiny brain to take in.
Firstly:
I want to purchase some display samples but, naturally, are limited to how many. I was going to buy one Avanta, one elizabethan and one Handmade and wondered if you could advise which ones. I was originally going to buy the cheaper from each range, but they are not necessarily the nicest. Then I though, shoudl I buy what I like (but it's always according to taste) or should I just buy a 'safe' midprice range one.
Any advice??

You should get a special price for display albums. I generally use Elizabethan or the Reportage album (with a different leather cover). I try not to offer too much choice since it is me who puts it together and I like to keep things under my control. I want to avoid the scenario of the couple ordering an album from the brochure and not liking it when it turns up and that can be expensive!
