I just tested this with an IN-16 and a B-5870. They behave exactly the same. When only the decimal point is lit, it glows brighter than when lit together with a digit. This is probably just how a nixie tube works. I never noticed it because I always used only the decimal point on the right. So when entering a decimal point, a digit is always already on. The IN-12B, however, only has a decimal point on the left side. And in terms of visibility, I like the decimal points of the IN-16 and B-5870 much better. After a calculation, you see the decimal point immediately, whereas with the IN-12B you have to search for it. I think I'll switch back to the neon bulbs.
