Monte I ended up with the pinched soda straw on my Omega 2 for exactly the reasons you noted. I still get an infrequent clump. I'll keep suitable straw stock handy once I've received & started using my Adam's Device.
IPSCNUT that's an interesting thought you've posted. I've not felt 'centering' the drop point for my Omega to be at all necessary on the MXX-123 I've been using. Hopefully the different technology of an FX-120i won't be compromised by an off-center scale pan?
Any current users willing to comment?
spclark, My error, I should have clarified my comment was in reference to an FX120i.
