The CIMulator should work well enough to match speeds.

One thing I have found is that a 775 maxed out @40 amps has the same power output as a CIM @40 amps, although I don't know how many 40A breakers one can use. So the 775 may not be fully understood as far as reliability quite yet but looks as if it is on par with a CIM in power.
