Yes, the pleated version seems more user friendly. They fit better with glasses and fit different sizes of people more easily. I've made a couple dozen so far and they've fit everyone from my tiny-faced daughter to my bearded and large husband with no problems.
I've made the type with the pocket in the center for filters and have used bias tape ties instead of elastic. We've been using cut down cone-style coffee filters. The vacuum bags people have talked about often have silicates in them, shards of glass-like pieces that are small enough to get in your lungs. Most of the you tube videos I've looked at say not to use them unless you're sure there's no silicates in them.
