Bugger...

On a recent visit to me home town 3 200 series operators have been dramatically affected by/with SID's compliance...their airframes ranged from tidy/well maintained through to the other end of the spectrum...

As an example one of them was quoted/assured around the 40 man/hr mark for the inspection which escalated to over 500 hrs, another considering selling his tidy aircraft now effectively has to give it away prior to SID's being carried out...and the third put the inspection on hold mid-way after the third un-expected 5K bill to source other aircraft types...

I appreciate the importance of safety however feel this is not the only motivation from cessna and is being incorporated in a bullish manner by the regulators...
