R07-100-RNEA regulator outlet pressure

FIRST recommends in the blue box beneath R71 that teams use one of the following regulators:
Quote:
Norgren regulator P/N: R07-100-RNEA or Monnier P/N: 101-3002-1 recommended.
We are currently using the R07-100-RNEA on our robot. As I was looking up the specifications on this product, I realized that the intended adjustable outlet pressures for this product are 5 to 50 psi. Here is the webpage that contains this information.

Now, I understand that manufacturers often are conservative in their estimates for things like this, but even so, shouldn't we be using regulators that are specified to handle up to 60 psi? Norgren sells a very similar model, the R07-100RNKA, which has the output adjustable from 5 to 100psi. Here is that product's webpage. At the moment, both of these cost $23.50, so why doesn't FIRST recommend that teams use this regulator?
