Crustbuster's sales pitch on their wobble slot is much better singulation when slot width is set to about 1.5 times the diameter of the bean seed. Works well until the meter shaft speed gets to high and then it doesn't fill enough so you have to open the slot. High shaft speed can be caused by 2 things- high ground speed and or a high seeding rate.

Crustbuster claimed that flute fed drills used corrugated seed tubes not only for flexibility but to string out the 4 or 5 beans each flute dropped.
