Presumably the orientation of the cover is unimportant. If so, then a round cover is simpler to put back in place, as it can simply be slid/rolled/pushed whichever way; whereas any shape with corners requires that bit of extra fiddling around to line the cover up with the hole. Said fiddling might therefore also run the risk of chipping the corners. Richard Dobson
