I probably could, but variations between models from one manufacturer
may be greater than variations between manufacturer.   I suggest that
anyone thinking of purchasing a number of SD cards test the ones they
are considering buying, instead of relying on outdated test data.

They all have dynamic wear levelling, where blocks are actively moved
in order to balance the wear across all block in the device.

We are starting to look at it.
Does anybody have experience shipping it ?
even using it ?
