If you didn't specify the substrate connection, then it's a
bad idea to select a model with 4 terminals -- what happens
with the 4th terminal?  I would say it's correct to choose
the 3-terminal model, if one is available.  If you want to
make sure the most accurate models are used, then there
shouldn't be a 3-terminal model available!
