Just a counterpoint, who knows you might even be absolutely correct.
i agree.. it's iffy. it may make sense for them to not invest in whatever testing is required to claim compatibility, even if economies of scale dictate that all the same lines/o-rings/etc go into everything they make and are compatible throughout.

my main point is just that nobody knows. we're the blind leading the blind for atleast until enough experience is acquired to make an informed call.
