Nope, look again, one stroke.  You draw the vertical line and the arrow in 
either case.  For one symbol you add a third line for the source.

Why would the size change???  Cluttered???  I think this is a very small 
mountain being made from a rather large molehill.

I don't have my copy of AoE III handy.  Do you have a section that shows 
both symbols and explains why you are using both?  If not, all you have done 
is to confuse the reader.  No one expects to see two symbols used for the 
same thing in a single tome.

I really can't believe this conversation is even happening.
