Yeah, AD (and LTC, before AD bought them) had the best documentation. And for low volume hobby production the added BOM cost isn't a big deal, it's definitely worth the time saved in reverse-engineering the part due to incomplete documentation. Due to that it sometimes even saves money, since you're less likely to destroy the part when trying to figure out how to use it.
