Nice job.

I'd vote for before displaying them the regular copies since in 
principle, the holdings statements in the MFHDs should be concisely 
describing what's covered by the physical copies and serial issues. 
That's heavily dependent on any given library's data, of course, but I'd 
even go so far as to suggest that if summary holdings statements are 
available, the list of physical copies should be hidden by default with 
a widget to show the list if a patron needs to drill down.

Yay!
