Place in the US is doing a nice range of conical fermentors

As far as I can see the only benefit of a conical over our 'standard' Australian fermenters is that you can collect all the sediment so it sits under the draw-off tap, so you are getting clear beer from the first drop. However I find that with a good cold crash and finings I get that with my current system anyway. I do need to 'clear the throat' of the tap and waste maybe a pint but after that it runs almost bright and will be fully bright once I get my filter for light coloured beers.
Also you would need a mighty fermenting fridge to keep one or two of those in.
