The new auto bin thing was in operation, and worked better than I had expected. A small bonus is possibly less wear and tear on my bags in the process?

If both are open, any thoughts as to which one one should use? At the moment I'm thinking the one beyond GF might be both less known and more efficient with the new equipment?
