Hullo Harry,
Is your point that you think production start up costs are a major obstacle for Saab, should they re-commence an STC derivative SF34 or SB2000 or are you saying something else entirely?
If you are talking about development and production start up costs for an all new larger aircraft, as some are suggesting, then I think I agree with you unless the risk was shared with a number of partners and history has shown that such partnerships are fraught with problems, such as Saab's original partnership with Fairchild in producing the SF34.
