Strange relation with subsidaries you have, if you cannot request seconds, how do you know that you got the best in the first round?
I just had it my hands for 10-15 minutes and I was missing some caps's in switching BEC, what are the ratings for this BEC anyways, amps wise.
Fair, 22 years is alot, and you do have a respectable company and product. But do not underestimate people around you, I am simply trying to help you here even promoting your stuff.
If you have any concerns or recommendations, PM it to me I am willing to work as a team and would be happy keep some aspects private.

Fair enough ...
There is 100uf of output capacitance on the switcher -- ceramics, not electrolytics or tantalum. The input capacitance is 44uF of ceramic, right on the FET inputs, in addition to the approx 1000uf of electrolytic. Fets are snubbed.
As for the capacitor quality -- We've been using Rubycon and Panasonic both for many many years, and have never had a quality problem with either one. Rubycons are usually more difficult to get. The Panasonics usually have shorter lead time, and are more available -- but in this case we had the Rubycons available and Panasonic needed 12 weeks.
In our testing, the Rubycons ran a little cooler than the same value Panasonic FM series.
I'm not sure what you mean by "if you can't request seconds" -- we could, but we don't request seconds. I'm just saying that there isn't any possibility of us getting seconds or rejects -- we don't buy through brokers.
