Until the e-visa application becomes less cumbersome, less of an almighty faff, I'll stick to the stickers. You can get two to a page if you manage the stamping efficiently
And Brexit is likely to invalidate my passport before Egypt fills it with stickers ....
What is cumbersome about it? I just did it for myself and foster son and it was a pretty quick and easy activity
It saves me from having to go to bank and get $50 USD per entry to pay the required entry fee in cash and paying cost of currency conversion
The length of time to apply was less time than it took to get stamps last time
