Yeah, I assume you're talking about NOS plates...they're okay. I've always preferred the Jepps over NOS.

If I was desperate on going somewhere quick (locally), I'd definitely use NOS.

I think when I was doing my instrument (and later on my CFII), I was one of about 20 guys who invested in Jepp charts. It's just personal preferrence once you get used to Jepps.
