ACEA A3 Spec Synthetic Oils

In following the threads on synthetic motor oils I’ve noticed quite a bit of heat generated in discussions of different brands. But what people do seem to agree on is the need to meet the Eurpoean ACEA A3. So isn’t a spec supposed to be an objective yardstick, and if something meets the spec it should be OK to use? I went to the oil company websites and checked spec sheets. According to the spec sheets, the following oils meet the ACEA A3 spec (most but not all also listed as B3). So my question is, why shouldn’t I just get the cheapest out of the list that meets my engine’s operating requirements?
Mobil: 0W-40
Castroil: 0w-30, 10w-40, 5w-50, 5w-40, 20w-50,
Quaker State: 10w-30, 5w-50
Valvoline: 5w-40, 20w-50
Amsoil: 5W-40, HP 10w-40, HP 20W-50
