I talked to Sandy Klein, our region's Hollister Rep this weekend at
our LLL HCP seminar, and she said they re-measured and the second set
(with the chicken egg) is more accurate in terms of actual volume.

I'd never seen the first set, but have a "homemade" set using stones
of similar sizes, and their smaller sizes prompted me to ask her what
the difference was.
