Can't see removing an APU, especially on a two holer. It may be an expense, but its worth its worth it to have it when you really need it. A deferred main gen on an aircraft with an APU removed might convince the bean counters otherwise. Unless that is they are dispatching on one gen alone, and then I don't think I would want to be on the plane.
