Oh Gawd... will you folks every give up with this kind of question ? It is absolutely hopeless at very best. Of COURSE the scale works as well as it can, it is exactly as the designer intended, what THEY wanted. If anyone wants to build something else.. then go for it... but PLEASE... dont sit here and try and tell anyone that your opinions about what works best are more valid then anyone elses. Read em and weep boys... like it or not... they lead the pack... because the buying public over the past 100 years has put them there. I mean reallly.... Vladan.. you are absolutely correct... they work just fine.

But I think an interesting question is: Do they work as well as they can?
