Nothing wrong with the bt50. I own one and fact is it has never let me down in anyway at all. Who cares where it is made. It's just a daily driver that never fails.

You forgot Low compression 138, 173 and 202. Also add the XU1 option and you would have 11 engine options.

From memory there may have also been a low comp option on one or some of the 4cyl engines?
