  A recent Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) model of several cuprate
superconductors is based on bosonic Cooper pairs (CPs) moving in 3D with a
quadratic energy-momentum (dispersion) relation. The 3D BEC condensate-fraction
vs. temperature (T/Tc, where Tc is the BEC transition temperature) formula
poorly fits penetration-depth data for two cuprates in the range (1/2, 1]. We
show how these fits are dramatically improved assuming cuprates to be quasi-2D,
and how equally good fits obtain for conventional 3D and quasi-1D nanotube
superconducting data, provided the correct CP dispersion is assumed in BEC at
their assumed corresponding dimensionalities. This is offered as additional
concrete empirical evidence for linearly-dispersive pairs in another recent BEC
scenario of superconductors within which a BCS condensate turns out to be a
very special case.
