With the things we do here in the lab it's perfectly reasonable. A lot of
what we do is working with prototypical designs and outright
experimentation. When it comes to a MMC array that will be used with God
knows what, there is no engineering like overengineering. I'd rather invest
a pile of money into something that I can expect to last a few decades than
go on the cheap and hope it holds together. If I was building this for one
specific coil it would be very different, but this will be used with
hundreds of different coils where many are untested designs.
The only thing I've ever found that is more expensive than a cheap tool, is
a free boat.
