My photo was from an evaluation Giotto Premium used during the Andreja Premium writeup. That was back in 2004, and I assume they've changed stock baskets since. Thanks for the correction.

The Giotto & LM double baskets do not look identical to me! Same height yes, but the Giotto basket sides appear to curve in faster towards the bottom. Hence the LM double would have slightly greater volume.
