We combine specific globular cluster frequencies (SN) with newly measured surface brightness profiles to identify dEs that may be stripped dIs. Luminous dEs generally have higher surface brightnesses and steep central light profiles. Conversely, fainter dEs have low surface brightnesses and flatter central light profiles. The most likely candidates for stripped dIs have low SN and low central surface brightnesses.
