@Roger Hobden please tell us which bp/ws you asked about and were refused?
GUE equipment standards are publicly stated in gue website and they are completely vendor neutral. I do not think that a list of "accepted equipment" would make this better, only less neutral towards manufacturers not on that list.
It would be really helpful for this discussion if you would reveal even some models that were not accepted.
My personal experience based on my fundies and gue buddies is that lots of non-halcyon gear is recommended and accepted by the instructors.
