Jul 6, 2011 at 15:04 comment added Matthew Daws @Juris-- But then the "correct" unit length basis vectors also become enlongated, and so the distortions sort of cancel out...
Jul 6, 2011 at 12:58 comment added Juris Steprans Thanks Matthew. I had had in mind a sequence of 2-dimensional spaces with increasingly oblong unit balls. I will have to think about why the bounded Banach-Mazur distance saves the day for such a product.
Jul 6, 2011 at 12:37 comment added Matthew Daws The condition on your second paragraph is always true, as a k-dim Banach space is always at most $\sqrt{k}$ distant from $\ell^2_k$ in the Banach-Mazur distance-- see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banach%E2%80%93Mazur_compactum
