Grant is a marketeer and an interesting person. To some extent, he /is/ trying to get people to drink his Kool-Aid because that's his market space. I well recall when he was selling an older Campy front derailer. It had an oversized clamp, so he sold it with a plastic sleeve that you used over the seat tube to correctly fit it. It was "the best thing ever," and I've seen him do that repeatedly with old stock items. So to some extent, yeah, he's just trying to move stock.
I don't recall this one, but if it was the Racing T front derailleur then /Hell yes/, it was the best thing ever for 110/74 "compact triples" and the fact that you needed a shim to get it to fit the seat tube is just the price of doing business. I still marvel at this: why on earth would Campagnolo, a company with a proven track record of no interest or expertise with touring gearing produce what is by far the best front derailleur for such gearing I've ever seen? So, if it was that one, it wasn't "just trying to move stock" at all.
