But think of the savings in logistical load if there were a combat 
vehicle common with all of the other Medium armoured vehicles that 
were already in inventory (Brady family).

Perhaps they could upgrade the hulls with the newer automotive
components too.

Though in looking closely at the UD web site, perhaps they should 
just improve on the already working design.

Of course all this aside, the Airborne folks do need the M8 AGS.
