arseegee, yep... I've only removed the bar once in an installation, the rest of the time I've always installed a bus.
But you are indeed correct, especially with GE (and I consider myself somewhat of an expert with GE since that's what I use the most often!).
The important thing is to bond the EGC and GC only once and to provide a bond to the EGC to all metal enclosures, and to use an approved means to do so.
