I never understood the interest in conical bottoms. The yeast is (supposed to be) flocculating to the bottom of the container, and one should avoid raking that into a secondary fermenter, keg, bottle, or where ever the beer is going next. Leaving behind a conical shaped pile of yucky stuff seems slightly more difficult than leaving behind a flat layer of sediment on top of a level bottom. Besides, I would expect that one could get a fair approximation of a conical bottom by tilting a cylidrical container some 15 degrees to the left.
