Atleast in scientific application there is no reason to use Imperial. Metric makes all calculations simpler, and is accepted by a much larger portion of the world, and should be the standard in all science.
I fully agree, I am in physics, and unless something is given to me in imperial form, I will always use metric. That goes for everyone I have ever partnered with. Further more, if data was given in imperial, we would convert it first thing anyway.
If this was a case of mix up, at least this one will cost a great deal less.
