What vendor told you that you are locked into Cura? That is definitely not the case. Granted, Cura is probably the best out of the box experience for UM machines, but locking in is always a bad idea imho.
Cool, thanks for the info; however I'm a little confused as to why other slicers might perform worse with dual extrusion?
1. Can I use another slicer and still lift the unused head out of the way?
2. If I use the correct settings for prime, retract, travel speed etc in the other slicers can I expect good results assuming the other slicers are good slicers?
3. Can I just load the gcode from another slicer, including any required initial start gcode, into the Ultimaker 3 and hit print?

You can use S3D but it's not really optimised for the Ultimaker 3. I think you get better results with Cura 2.6 with the UM3, but you are open to use other slicers, just know that somethings (like dual extrusion) will probably perform worse
