Well, I pulled them both out of the closet and measured more carefully:

        8485:  16 1/2" x 23" x 3 5/8"

        6991:  18 1/2" x 25 1/2" x 4 1/2"

The 6991 wins, but is still smaller than the 3290.

What about 8485?  I'm pretty positive it's the same size as the 3290,
isn't it?  I bought my 8485 from LIC in Mall of America.  They shipped
it to me in a 3290 carton, and it pretty much filled it up, except for
the height, since the carton was designed to hold two boxes and I
only ordered one set.  I'd measure the box, but it's stored away and
not easily accesibly to me.
