That would only be true if the data services are somewhat purpose-specific and not Internet access. Doing what this vendor told you would seriously affect aggregate performance of the cell because of low rate modulation of the NLOS and/or distant customers.
If you are doing sensor networks or POS connection you will be fine with all those BPSK/QPSK customers, indeed.
