...Actually, I'm under the impression that those parts are extremely expensive any way you slice it, and I'd imagine that fitting them into an existing spaceframe would be, if anything, more of a chore than building a Reflex Furnace and whatnot for a specific spaceframe design. And, on top of that, the number of engineers who can maintain a Reflex furnace is pretty low.
