A filter with thinner media but more pleats or a filter with thicker media but less pleats? Assume you dont know any filtering micron data. Just using your visual sense.

This is an unbounded question.

Say you had 2 filters made by the same company and the ONLY difference was the media, both same material but one had 25 pleats with thicker media and the other had 50 pleats with the same media but 1/2 the thickness of the first. Which would you choose???

Depends on what it's half of. Half of 1/8 inch is 1/16 inch and thats a good thickness. Half of 1/16 inch is 1/32, then it starts to get thinner.

Fair enough, say its the 1/16th inch thickness which is good for you, then which one would you choose?
