When it's your dollars on the line you should "trust but verify."
For sure they don't have the exact same driving profile, just as sure as it is likelier than not that their feedback is excellent.

I also took logic class in high school. It doesn't change than unless one has infinite time and resources, going to one of the teams that run and setup these cars is a smart choice and likely drops you off in the sweet spot of performance.

From wiki:
An argument from authority (argumentum ab auctoritate), also called an appeal to authority, or argumentum ad verecundiam, is a form of argument in which the opinion of an authority on a topic is used as evidence to support an argument.[1] Some consider that it is used in a cogent form if all sides of a discussion agree on the reliability of the authority in the given context,[2][3] and others consider it to always be a fallacy to cite an authority on the discussed topic as the primary means of supporting an argument.[4]

Do we all agree that a company that runs 3 M4 GT4 cars has a good idea of how to set these up for track driving?
Do we all agree that premium suspensions can take high spring rates but still be reasonably compliant on the street?

If you think OP should work with Turner instead I won't challenge that, but to act like people who run that aero package professionally don't have an advantage in knowledge is ridiculous
