Perhaps. I've been told something similar with several brands of protective gear, that the 'daytime' factory operations are for the major brand, and that 'night-time' operations, with the same materials, processes, etc, is for the off-brand. The difference between them is the quality control. Lots for the main-brands. Almost none for the off-brands. That's all hear-say and my somewhat unreliable memory though.

All I know is that I've bought a couple knock-off products in the past and had them wind out to be less than what I'd hoped for, in comparison to the 'genuine article.' Not saying that's the case with these other companies making the integrated tails, but ya never know till you throw down the $.
