That's true up to a point. Specs are only as good as the entity providing the data. I can tell you a few stories about specs and some MAJOR fails by a major network equipment manufacturer failing to meet advertised specs. When you engage the engineering folks to assist in a build, they should know the true specs of their gear better than anyone else. If they say for a certain distance that A+B will work, then that is exactly what I expect.
That is pretty basic.
More power to you ....
I always get a chuckle out of statements such as ... "Compared FiberStore to another Vendor"...
It was pointed out to me long time ago.... when someone said.. "My Chevy is better than a Ford"....
Someone pointed out, hey, which Chevy ? the Chevette ? or the Corvette ? and Which Ford the Fiesta or Mustang ?
Every mfg. has a lots and lots of products, and they are always getting improved...
One has to pay attention to the specs.. even the same model products at different times don't have the same specs !

My point is......
... The thing to rely on is/are the Specs.
If the Specs are right or specs are wrong, that is what determines the product's mfg shortcoming (defect).
Mfg. Engineers are people, just like you and me.... and people can make mistakes...
Being an Engineer, when I ask someone to do the design work, I ask them to explain it, and this way I double check their work.... Yes Mfg. Engineers are known to F***up too.
While it is expected to be disappointed when something does not work.. and having a bad taste for dealing with that mfg, claiming that all of that mfg products are bad is a whole different issue.
I deal with FiberStore, my experience have been very different, when stuff purchased from them, did not meet the specs, they took it back no questions asked.

BTW, I hope you realize that FiberStore is not a mfg. but a "Seller/broker". they have to rely on the specs provided to them from the MFG.
In the Far East, mfg, distribution, sales is organized is a slightly different manner than the West.
