This really does seem like a small issue, and honestly I wouldn't care if I had bought one. However, I do agree with those who say this was an important issue to address, just to keep the companies honest. The fact that they clearly gave dimensions on the packaging that didn't fit the product (or that needed to be justified by technical mumbo-jumbo) made this a worthwhile topic.

I won't get fired up and start boycotting either company. This is another drop in the bucket, though, for educating us as consumer and showing companies that they're being watched.
