Shannon,
There is likely a speed difference because CF does not have to introspect
and evaluate the string any further with the second option... but I would
say you would need a really really long string to see the difference :)
Still, I'd have to say I favor the second in most cases. I only

Merely stylistic. Depends on the coder's feelings on readability, which is
personal preference as much as anything.

Thanks guys, that's about what I expected. As a stylistic difference, I would
not advocate changing existing code to eliminate pound signs, whereas there are
those who argue the speed advantage of moving to concantenation only. While I
like concantenation, I see no problem with choosing ease
I try to use pound signs as little as possible. It's a bit of a hang over
from the old cf4.x days but I personally find it a) easier to read and b)
more akin to other languages.
