I didn't say IFI and VeX, I said IFI and FIRST (no red herring). VeX is part of IFI. I stated that if FIRST suddenly realized they needed a new kit for next year this year, there would be no way for us to test this new kit until now, which is happening.

I'd also like to bring up the point that the expensive part of the vEx kits (the hardware) will be reusable next year (source). Also, the batteries (another expensive component) can be used (though will last 2/3rds as long as the new batteries).
