Ordinarily, I'd agree with that.  However, if USB dongles are anything
like dial-up modems used to be (external or internal), the chipsets used
in particular models were not consistent.  e.g. Out of a specific model
number modem, some of them could be Lucent chipsets, the rest something
else.

So, if you went through a bin of gadgets, you'd actually have to try
them all, rather than just try one out of each model range.
