update:

New bubbler I got from a local blower.

My other concern that I didn't really bring up is that spoons actually are more stable when sitting on a table. Has to do with their centre of gravity. Because they have that extra chamber, they sit taller which means easier to knock over. Also, if they do knock over, it's a bigger mess. On the plus side though, if you're on the go without water, it still makes a fine hammer pipe.

Honestly, it's not that hard to pass a bong and if you're in for the water filtration, I got my bubbler for nothing more than I fell in love with the glass.
