I have settled on a 5 x 7 print size and I have decided to make "tray" puzzles. Hopefully I can perfect this over time. I haven't used MP yet, but after reading the previous thread, I may have to try it out.

I like how you have the puzzle displayed.....that's definitely a nice advantage of cutting tray-style.
What thickness did you decide to use for the backboard?
I use 1/4" for the puzzle and the tray. I mount the picture and trim to size, then I cut the backboard to match, as well as the pattern blank.
