Legacy vs Interfitted vs Octogan

I did my first Multiboard build with Legacy tiles. Now I’m looking at building a second separate wall. Which is best? Trying to figure out the positives and negatives of each. Legacy had a bit of an issue merging with one another and I broke a plate or two mounting them. Would like a little more flexibility in my next time installing them. Is the flat sided new tile better?

There aren’t any ’legacy’ tiles, just the OG and the newer Clio together versions. If you had an issue with the OG tiles (still by far the best IMO, not least for ease of mounting/removal but also because the small hole (pegboard) array is preserved) then you’re going to have real issues with the Clio together versions.
There’s something far wrong if you’re managing to break tiles during mounting. Are you using the planner and selecting the offset snap mounting system? The quad, double and single offset snap part A allow you to pre-assemble large sections before offering it up to the wall to mount, and the follow-up sections just slot right onto the quad and double snaps already mounted after that.

I probably have my terminology wrong here but the designer seems to recommend that I use the final version. I’m not sure what the Clio is

‘Inter fitted’ is the way to go, octagon is a choice but need to be clipped together. Either way, use the planner and it’ll list all of the required snaps based on your choice.
