The GEneral description of Fission observables (GEF) model was developed to produce fission related nuclear data which are of crucial importance for basic and applied nuclear physics. The investigation of the performance of the GEF code is here extended to a region in fissioning-system mass, charge, excitation energy and angular momentum, as well as to new observables, that could not be benchmarked in detail so far. The work focuses on fragment mass and isotopic distributions, benefiting from recent innovative measurements. The approach reveals a high degree of consistency and provides a very reasonable description of the new data. The physics behind specific discrepancies is discussed, and hints to improve on are given. Comparison of the calculation with experiment permits to highlight the influence of the system intrinsic properties, their interplay, and the importance of experimental aspects, namely instrumental resolution. All together points to the necessity of as selective and accurate as possible experimental data, for proper unfolding of the different influences and robust interpretation of the measurement. The GEF code has become a widely used tool for this purpose
