Copying levels from one fixture type to another doesn't copy exact levels

Question

Is there a reason why the console doesn't copy the exact levels from one fixture type to another? Below is an example. While this doesn't really affect the output, I'm concerned that this behavior could cause problems down the road. 
 
 As you can see, when I send the command "Chan 321 Recall From 501 DMX Enter," the levels are very close, but Green and Blue are off by a 0.054-0.115%. I get the same results with "501 Copy to 321 DMX."

The original color (the source of the copy command) used either color picker or gel picker to set the color. This the Blue value to 80.507 even though this can't be exactly represented by a DMX number. When you copied Eos made sure to only set parameter values (for the target of the copy command) that were exactly representable by DMX.
