... and an ejection seat (plus mounting) would probably weigh as much as the airframe itself.
Not to mention any weight/balance considerations.

Surely, a BRS for an aircraft of that size and weight would not have to be 'large suitcase' sized.
Many aircraft in the recreational/sport category use ones that are considerably less bulky and streamlined as well.
