Other then the obvious differences of compatibility and perhaps different
colors and patterns - is there really any difference between the two? If not
what's the sense having two types in the first place?

Got me - don't understand economics.
Why do hot dogs come in packs of 8, and buns come in packs of 10?

So, that you will buy 5 packs of hot dogs and 4 packs of buns. Meals for a week...........Yummmmm??????.
Just think of the work you could get done not having to cook............Claudia

2 companies that went into business with different glass formulations and decided to stick with them as they grew... it's that simple. And the fused glass movement didn't exist when they started, so compatibility wasn't an issue.

The fused glass movement didn't exist when Bullseye started making compatible glass. It did exist when Spectrum started making compatible glass. I think there are various reasons for the coefficients. Brock

The development that may be the most interesting (and perhaps have the greatest impact on the market for fusing supplies) is Armstrong's introduction of COE80 that's compatible to fuse onto float glass.

Do you have any more info on the armstrong glass dennis? I agree, that would have a big impact.
This is probably a dumb question, but why wasn't a line of coloured float ever brought out?( I haven't seen any)...

Here's information on Armstrong's colored float:
http://www.armstrongglass.com Click on Fire Float 82. Note that a spec of 82 plus or minus 3 means that the glass is not necessarily compatible across its own line, much less other brands of float.
Several other companies make colored float.
