But I also wanted to caution you about giving "epub looks great in Sigil BV" very much significance in the first place. It's alright for getting a ballpark idea that things are generally the way you want them, but I wouldn't spend a lot of time fine-tuning/tweaking layouts in Sigil's Book View. Only because it's using a renderer that most dedicated eReaders simply don't use.

I'm pretty sure that in this case (like the others have mentioned), the differences are due to the fact that there's an error causing ADE to abandon your CSS, but I assure you the opposite can happen, too. You can have an ePub that renders fine (correctly) in ADE, but not in Sigil's Book View. ADE is still the measuring stick to go by, in those instances—in my opinion.
Great point.
There are valid things that Sigil displays properly that ADE trips over itself on. Learning to code around these is a good thing (see the ADE thread in EPUB forum)
Simple example: a 50% HR is supposed to auto center (sigil show it there)

What you have to do in ADE is ALSO make the Left Margin 25% to put it in the correct place.
