The metering difference has to do with bridging, where the wider, flat Unique flakes interleave with one another so they can span short horizontal distances and support one another to resist falling down into the measure cavity. The Clays series of powders (Clays, International Clays, and Universal Clays) appear to have started as spheres that were rolled flat. They could theoretically interleave like taco shells if they all lined up correctly, but that doesn't usually happen as it requires them all to be either upright or upside down as well as lined up along one axis. Unique flakes can interleave on any axis with one another as long as they lie in the same plane.
