Leuchtturm1917 first look at classic 80gsm hardcover & softcover dot grid journal notebooks

This is my first impression of both the softcover and hardcover versions of the Leuchtturm1917 classic dot grid notebook. I first bought the softcover, but soon realised that I wanted to compare it to the hardcover, and also wanted to check the quality of the binding of the hardcover, as there had been issues with the 120gsm Bullet Journal version, so I bought a hardcover journal as well.
I'll be reviewing these two journals alongside each other in one video, but they have different entries on my website where you can see the detailed specifications of each journal and compare the differences between each in an easy to use table.

The company sells the pen loops separately from the journals

Ooh thanks for that reminder, I keep forgetting to add that kind of information. I'll make sure to mention it in the full review.
