Another possible oil for 2-strokes, maybe?

Someone on the Yahoo DD forum mentioned this oil as a possible contender for 2-stroke Detroits:  https://www.mileslubricants.com/product_details.php?prodId=44
I've never heard of this company, but apparently its products are well regarded by the East Coast marine folk.   I don't know if it's any good  -  at $57.56 it's suspiciously cheap for a 5-gallon pail.   It does have a quoted ash content of 0.78 and a TBN of 7, so on paper it seems to be comparable to Delo 100.

Anyone here heard anything about it?   Is it just something else rebranded for Miles, or did Miles formulate it, or what?

Their website says they will rebrand for anyone... we could all be using luvrbus SAE 40 wt if you wanted to spring for 4-5 boxcar loads... :)
