Have you done an analysis based on how many kitten boxes you get in a day and check the sizes? I haven't really paid attention to the sizes. When I increased my stock, I got different sizes almost daily. I used to get about 80 kitten boxes per week. But now, I am down to 40 kitten boxes per week so the different sizes are more random. I really think it's random, depending on the size of your cattery. My two cents 
I have a little over 200 boxes per week.
My sample was just watching, boxes of kittens started. I have not collected data for all kittens born in my cattery.
What makes it an interesting research was that I collected data into 6 different weeks. So, I have a sample well distributed, and random.

And the chance of getting a high quality mega are the same as a lower traited one. So that encourages me to just breed the best of what I have. I just hate when i get a mega that is all size and no substance...drives me nuts! LOL
That's why I love Pretty, and his intelligence.
Fantastic observation.
This can be applied to any size. You may have a megapuss 9t, how can having a megapuss 1t. You may have a Teacup 9t, as 1t may have a teacup. Everything depends on the kittens you have. If you have good kittens will have good kittens in special sizes.
example:
? New Born Kitten
Fur: Snowshoe - Cream
Eyes: Odyssey Bellini (Shape: Mysterious | Pupil: Small)
Shade: Twinkle
Tail: Plush
Ears: Curious
Whiskers: 2 Tone Black & White (Shape: Mysterious)
Size: MegaPuss

Ya know. This is a good study. It gives good guidance to the market. Based solely on size, all other things being equal, for example, using Teacup, I get it should be worth:
- 40% more than a Petite
- 80% more than a Toy
- 28 times a Normal
- 40% the price of a Bigger de Big or MegaPuss
Similar comparisons could be done for all the others.
I recounted 3 times the amount of sample kittens. All gave 318. Anyway.
Loved his analysis of the market orientation. Data within a database is just data. But, when the data are organized, they viewed information.
Every 7 kittens born, 6 are normal size and 1 special size!
