Ray, at 622mbps, the rise time is likely in the neighborhood of 300ps or so. In 300ps, how far do you think you can go before transmission line effects are significant? How much timing budget can you sacrifice to reflections? As to microstrip, the vendor is probably concerned about via stubs. Steve.
