I can't see how any measure of caution in the shadow of the last few week's debacle would be considered wrong.
My experience with PTG gauges and tools have always been positive. That doesn't necessarily mean that the entire product line is without issues. If Bill A. says he has a preferred reamer maker, then I don't see how wanting to use the same can go wrong.
The only catch to that way of thinking is that it may well limit your choices of custom barrel makers. Either way, the onus is on you to decide if a manufacturer has enough credibility to believe them when they say "Sure... we use, uhm, what was the name of that reamer you mentioned?"
