That's for sure.  Over the years my wife and I have bought lots of 10's, 
20's and 20-long's, getting custom glass lids cut at Home Depot.  Every 
brand is different, some by 1/4" or more in a given dimension.  We've got 
lids that fall into some tanks yet are too big to drop into the moulding 
of others.  I can only imagine this gets worse as tanks get bigger.
