Good point - in fact there's an argument to say that, within a piece of equipment, the valves should all be on different bases so that misfitting is not possible, by design. Same as using different connectors, or different keying configurations, so that it is not possible to plug the wrong cable into a connector.

However, for me, I confess I'd rather see a nice geometric pattern of similarly sized bottles...
