I whole-heartedly agree with u Andrew.
As a breeder u sh always strive to do it on your own.
Do not go where others have been and they having done so attempt to justify by saying what had been done is 'faulty' and they now come to the rescue to 'put things right' and in the process they then claim they have made great improvements over the past model and shamelessly forgetting how they were given this new start(after having failed miserably for almost two decades) 'on a platter' on the right path finally by the pioneer breeder.
