Depends on what you want to do with it. Neither will edit isos above like 300MB, there really isn't a good freeware ISO editor available. For mounting, PowerISO goes up to 8 but MagicISO can go to 16. They're virtually identical for most purposes.

If all you want to do is mount the ISO's I find Daemon tools works very well, and as far as I know there isn't a size limit.

Well i like both of these because you can right click the file and set: number of drives, umount disks, mount disks, ect.\

I dont think daemon tools does that, unless im missing something

yea, it does, you start the program, and it loads into the system try, and if you right click on it there, you have the options to change number of drives (from what i remember the version I used you could have upto 4 drives) and you could also mount and unmount them from there.
