Are GMD reds worth it?

My LO just graduated from orange to yellow-edged prefolds from Green Mountain Diapers.

I have a credit to GMD so I was thinking of purchasing the next size up to be ready. (I know she won't fit in them for a while, but my credit needs to be used soon.)

Looking at the photos, the brown edge seems only slightly bigger than the reds. 

Should I just buy brown instead of red, or is the red that much better?

Thanks!

Yes, they are definitely worth it, IMO. You'll end up having to fold down the brown edge at least 3 inches in front or back for it to fit in a cover and then you'll just have unnecessary bulk. I had reds, turned them all into fitteds, then realized they shrunk up more in the wash and so they don't fit my LO...we're saving them for the next baby.

But I really miss my reds! We only have brown edges and they are so much bigger and red's fit for quite a while, so I think they're worth having. ...also, you could snag some of the seconds for quite a bit cheaper (this is what I did!).

If you use thirsties duo wraps, the red edge is the perfect length to be tri-folded into the size 2 on the largest rise. I'm thinking of skipping the brown.

We used red edged from 5 months until 2 years.  We also used them as inserts in the BG pockets.  Definitely worth it!

Yes, go with reds. We have been in them since about 6mths! Just ordered browns to be ready! We'll still be in reds for a while
