Just because the exciter is -30dB on third order, it doesn't mean an 
amplifier that is -35dB will not add noticeable extra bandwidth.

I hear similar reasoning from people trying to pass off    -20 and -30 
dB 3rd order IMD amplifiers as "acceptable" because some rigs are 
that poor on low order distortion products at full power on the worse 
bands.
