I don't get the problem. The entire planet is flooded by crap stuff but if you really want quality products - if you can afford them or your customer target agree to use them - you can surely get them. The problem is that IPA is much cheaper than the other product (but less effective) so everything depends if the added cost (to recovery) will be accepted.
