That being said, I am not implying that the S55 will be less of an engine because of it.
True, my guess is that the FI M engines requires a lot less special machinery, competence, materials and experience to build. They can be built be the same staff and type of machinery as the rest of the engines and therefore large cost savings can be made by consolidation. Does it make the engine less special, absolutely. Does it automatically make it a bad or worse M engine, no.
