You hit the nail on the head Restless. The longer the tape the thinner the tape. Neccesary evil to get more tape on the same size cassette. The thinner tape degrades faster, is more prone to kinks and tears and is more likely to allow bleed through from one side of the tape to the other.

Be careful with those tapes. My experience has been that they "go bad" more easily than standard-length tapes. Maybe the 120 tape is thinner, less durable (to fit more in the cassette); I don't know for certain. You may have no trouble, but I thought I'd send this warning.
