I'd be slightly cautious of how many far east manufacturers actually do double butt tubing. Unless you cut your frame up it would be pretty hard to tell, the fact Waltly refused to was a confidence tick in my book, I.e they were prepared to tell me they couldn't do something than say yes to clinch a sale. Personally I'd go straight gauge.
