The industrial variants do nothing for me, but I know others here like them:

Oh that looks nice. I'll monitor this auction but I have a feeling it will go sky high.

That can be worked around. Anything will sit still on 3 points.

I would find 3 half-round rubber feet (like spheres sliced in half) and make those be the contact points.

Silver label industrial is very sweet. The silver label types like a dream, best of the Model M's in my opinion.
