[ST] Triumph Mobil 1 vs. Golden Spectro?

Hi everyone.
I had my bike serviced after 500 miles by a Triumph dealer. I found out
that instead of using the designated Triumph Mobil 1 oil, he used Golden
Spectro's 100% 'top of the line' synthetic, and stated that they are
'exactly the same oil' as Mobil puts out. Well, that sounds good, and I
know many more people use Golden Spectro over Mobil 1 in motocross, but it's
been in the back of my mind for awhile now.
Being a fan of religiously following what the manual states, I began to
worry. I may be making a big deal out of nothing but pondered:
1. Should I keep using golden spectro from now on instead of Mobil 1?
2. Should I dump the Spectro and put Mobil 1 in right away?
3. Would it be harmful to the ST engine to switch from one kind of oil to
another?
I'd really feel more comfortable knowing what you all felt. I think I want
to wait until the next oil change and then go exclusively with Mobil 1 as
the manual states. Hell, I'll buy the oil for the dealer to use next time
if I have to!
Please chime on if you have any experience/knowledge on this issue.

P.S. FYI: The dealer said he uses Golden Spectro vs. Mobil 1 because you
have to buy Mobil 1 in enormous shipments, and many times he's received
crates of the oil damaged. <*shrug*>
