This just seems like lip service to ADA without thought.
I also do not understand the wide ugly lip on these style/brand.

Looks bad, bulky and serves little use.

my thoughts entirely Tom, and to be honest, on the rare times that the bubbles do go through the spiral, it makes it impossible to count them anyway. Looks pretty, does very little. If it hadnt been so much, id have bought another type.
