Two shifting gearboxes would be more appropriate than two single speed gearboxes if that's whats included in the flat rate kit and hopefully the $6K registration and kit fees do not increase.
If you are refering to the cost to replace the shifting hardware, I think that cost would be less than $50, as long as the gearboxes are reliable, I don't think upgrading to shifting gearboxes will be a monetary burden on most rookie teams. I've been on two rookie teams so far and shifting was something both rookie teams wanted but we just went with what was in the kit.
