Also I like planting in multiples of 4 (due to square foot gardening) so odd numbered trays would annoy me a bit. Most of the time I use 24 cell trays and they are ideal for many things, but I also like 12s and sometimes 9s. If they made sturdy trays in these sizes I would snap them up. My local gardening centre sells second hand trays for very cheap, though they are usually 4s or 6s which we already have a lot of. I use trays even if they're a bit broken (free air pruning, right? Wink ), they get patched up with duct tape and only go in the bin when they've well and truly had it.
Likewise TMTT - I keep them going for ever with insulating tape. Once one of the modules has definitely had it, I carefully cut that one out using sharp secateurs. 
It makes it even more of a jigsaw to fit the odd shapes on the greenhouse bench though, Scarlet!
When I have two identical but damaged modules I sit one inside the other, with the broken ones sat inside a good one.
