I will admit this is engineering intuition and distrust of vendors backed with no data.
Hmmm, this sounds interesting. Does not sharing an engineering detail like bias (I assume you simply mean hydraulic ratio) mean the entire system and its origin is suspect? What excuses were made and who made them? What "marketing speak" is not 100% correct? Can you clarify exactly what information you want, what is missing and the differences among the kits from the various suppliers you mention? AP has a pretty darn solid reputation... Maybe getting OT here. Start another tread on this if you want to try to get to the bottom of something.
