I'm another Jeppesen VFR chart fan, I prefer the symbology (and it's commonality with most of the rest of the world's charting), clarity, and the fact that they fold up smaller.

You do need to be a little careful with them at times - the update dates don't co-incide with the UK CAA charts, which can mean that occasionally somebody's snuck some airspace in that wasn't in your chart - also occasionally you have to trace around the lines to work out the height of the adjacent airspace.

But despite those failings, I personally much prefer Jepessen charts, and continue to use them.

They're also slightly cheaper, and last years make good wrapping paper for any presents for birthday presents for aviation friends.
