I do have an opinion based on my past experiences which is that the even if the OEM rates CMs who performs stellarly in all categories realistically with A's yet fails to cut pricing 'x' percent per whatever time-frame to meet OEM expectations, will end up penalized with a low cost-reduction/pricing score that will drag their overall score down. Bottom line: any CM scoring across the board A's is likely going to be closing their doors soon so a nice comfortable C maybe just right!
