I will have to agree. That reminds me of the refusal of Lance & his boys to use the Trek made Rolf & Bontrager wheels. They instead chose Mavic until the Trek wheel's reliability factor improved to an acceptable level. (Mavic goes way back into the on-topic era so I hope the list master will not give me the boot for drifting off topic)
