Crab, I think the FW will see commercial benefits sooner, as the efficiency improvement is possibly greater.

The MGB already drives the TRDS and so no real added complexity... in fact layout could be made simpler.

There would still be multiple generators, in fact I envisage load balancing. For example I can't see the need for full RIPS concurrent with long periods of high TR demand
