Hi I have both, I have the original 3 size Tab, and one of the 3 thickness one size pastille/lozenge, I really like having three thickness in one Press, Don't have to be nearly as acurate on your glass amounts! The look of the two beads is quite different.
I have heard complaints about the thin lozenges cracking because the glass is so thin over the rod in the middle of the bead... Hasn't happened to me. I have 6 presses the lozenge/pastille is what I use 90% of the time
I have a bracelet on my home page that is the lozenge... I was suffering from bead block at the time I made the beads, or maybe I was watching the fishing boats and didn't feel like thinking? Probably some tabs somewhere in Jewellery
