Dear Mike

I have used both. They are good ways to start. Miller's method produces
a lot of good cells, which you move by cutting out. Easier to set up.
Two adjacent cells (if you leave them together) can be moved together.
This contrasts with the easier method of moving the cell-punched cells.
I find I have to push the punch right through the comb. A bit messy and
leaves a hole. In both cases, new comb is best. Try each and you may
prefer one to the other.

James
