They are the same circumference - the 2 cup is just taller than the 1 cup.

Thanks! That answered my question perfectly.
 
I don't have the dimensions handy or them handy (at work) but I do know that the diameter is smaller on mini. I realized this too late when I was making something and wondered why the shells they were making seemed too small and had so much dough left over. I don't recommend mini for what calls for regular.

Mmmm...now I am confused.
 
Yes the mini is smaller!
 
Yep, I just compared and it it smaller, to the best of my measuring capabilities (using a ruler) it looks like the 2 cup is 2 3/4" and the 1 cup is 2 1/2". 1/4" difference.

Is the design of the Measure All and Mini-Measure All the same?
