Showing pictures in cart

Not sure if it's good..

[MikeMike]

I am upgrading from a 2002 snapshot OSCommerce to MS2.
One of the differences is that in ms2 it is showing the small image of each product in the cart. Even though I have scaled it down to half size I am not sure how it will affect the buyer.
The reason that I am concerned is that my average order is around 6-8 products, and I have many orders over that, up to 40 different products in one order.

Will the shopping cart look too overwhelming
with all those images?

Could it cause the customer to cut down on the ordered items?

Anyone got any experience with this?

Regards
Mike

Easy enough to add some logic that says

IF ($number_products < 5)
{ $show_thums = on; }
ELSE
{ $show_thumbs = off; }

But for the record, I am all for showing mini thumbs in the cart, not the default OSC Size, but really small like 30px by 30px.

BTW: look at some of my sites for what OSC can do when done right.
