Not in the long run. An MR2 weighs less than an AEW2 and doesn't use up the airframe life quite so quickly. If you had a choice of getting 4,000 odd hours or 6,000 hours out of your rebuilt aircraft - what would you go for? (bear in mind we're only looking at 100 - 150 hours usage a year when WR963's done.)
