[Histonet] Which kind of blade carrier?

Kim,

I like the E blade holder. I think it is a more robust platform and has less moving parts. The ER is good if you are doing mega cassettes and will accommodate larger blocks. Let me know if you need more information

My question is, which kind of blade carrier should I choose, the E or ER? We use high profile disposable blades. I can't tell from the tiny pictures what the difference is, and a search of histonet didn't help. Anyone have any advice?
