Sophos v9 detection rate not improving?

Hey there base on this test report by an individual, it seems that your detection rate has not improved and there are a few locations/files that you miss.. Avast seems to be improving their detection rate. Could you update your database/scan engine to improve the detection rate at those missing location/files

April's detection rate

Other vendors also seem to use this results and it seems that F-secure improve its detection rate once after those results are release

I don't feel very comfortable being in the middle of this: Jay at Sec Spread has told me that he is obligated by his sources not to distribute the malware samples anywhere. Wouldn't you be able to contact the sources he's listed?
What about asking those sources just for the Mac samples Sophos appears to missing, according to the PDF? Wouldn't that narrow it down to a manageable size? I don't think it's that many.
