Well, I'm sure you're right. But the problem is that in most cases it isn't a question of trying "it" first, because for every custom maker I can think of and for every mass-producer (e.g. Vandoren and D'Addario) there are more than one model or version that differ from each other, if nowhere else (even if made from the same blank), in the facing measurements. So, without a ballpark idea of the facings on each available version, your only alternative is to buy one of each and return most of them.

How much easier it would be, once I've become interested in the playing qualities a maker claims for his products, if I could order only samples similar (within reasonable tolerances) to a facing that I'm used to and eliminate the ones that are clearly very far away. In fairness, asking the maker will often get you the information, but apparently in this instance, it doesn't.
