Should a scaled up Rook replace the Rook180? (question)

[mggevaer]

I noticed that the Rook180 has an estimated price of 400$, the Rook MK1 kit is selling for ~300$.
But the Rook MK1 uses linear rails and a sturdier build plate.
Would it make sense to scale up the MK1 to Rook180 size, replacing the older Rook180 design? Or could a design with linear rods still be cheaper?
I would have expected the Rook180 to be cheaper than the MK1, (cheaper build plate, rods instead of linear rails)

I think a killer machine would be something with a ~250x250 build plate volume, but with the cost savings of the Rook MK1/180. This build size covers about 99% of people's printing needs (both Prusa Mk4 and Bambu machines are around this size). But it might not be cost effective to scale up to this size cost effectively(?)

As a final comment, I'm a big fan of the Rook projects, which feel to me like Voron printers without all the excess built and whistles, cutting cost in the right places, allowing more people into the hobby.
