You could code two completely different layouts into one flypage.html
but what would happen, in the future, when you decide that you want
three types of layout (perhaps a new one for grandfather clocks)?  The
code could become very difficult to maintain after a while.

A cleaner solution be to use a different flypage for each product type.
