(other generators show large differences) many exlcusive hadronic decays are measured, but still make up only a relatively small fraction of all hadronic decays e.g. D + : 6%, b-baryons: much less large differences between the number of implemented exclusive hadronic decays in different generators (EvtGen» Pythia8» Pythia6» Herwig) and their branching fractions BU: mainly the number of charged decay products has an impact on the tagging efficiency - unfortunately here the situation is not much better H.
