I understand the argument and I agree with you. I still think this is a special case because this OTS part is as good or better than what most teams are currently producing. My point was that it seems like teams that build their own gearboxes are creating something that is functionally equivalent to what will be available OTS. Those teams will have a tough choice to make. It will be interesting what people come up with to gain a competitive edge.
