I tried the layouts for a few years but have been using willow blinds again for the past 5 years or so. Lots of pocket bush in our area so willows are very natural here. Much more comfortable (gimp knee), visibility much better and shooting behind the blind when necessary is also very easy.
Once geese are coming in on many occasions you can get a shot or two away before even standing up so a lot less flaring when your about to shoot. Lots of flaring when shooting layouts.
My willow blind holds three adults comfortably and have an "L" extension that fits on each end if we are hunting 4-5 which is a lot of times.
