I am interested in your assertion that -duplicates-
produces an incorrect result. But to say anything
about it would require a sight of exactly what you
typed and exactly what results you got, and/or a copy of the
data, which you might care to send to me privately.
I wasn't aware that -duplicates- had a -width()- option.
