Thanks for posting the photos. The clock is very impressive. I like your choice of red oak for a base.

However, no matter how you work the numbers, 22.5% never comes up. Let's leave that number out of the equation. A 50 mm digit is clearly 25% larger than a 40 mm digit. That was my original statement, if you will read it again: "the Z568 digit is 25% larger than the IN-18 (digit)" And yes, a 40 mm digit is 80% of the size of a 50 mm digit -- but that was not my original statement. Enough math. I've uploaded two photos to the files section, showing the tubes side by side. The difference is remarkable. The diameter of the Z568 is roughly twice that of the IN-18, the Z568 literally dwarfs the IN-18. It's clear that the IN-18 is more space efficient in its envelope, less open space inside around the digits. There can be no argument that the Z568 makes a very impressive clock. I've uploaded a picture of mine. (Soda can is for size reference) The photos are appropriately labeled.
