hard for me to tell if the min die size is 0.8 mm^2 or is it 10 mm^3... the differentiator is bold and I can't tell (tried adding css font-weight:bold property to the text, and it didn't change the line thickness... but I can't be sure that means the dates are actually in bold or if the css was blocked)
