In his “Story of SC31 Family” post, Barry makes reference to SC31B sales/profit not being up to snuff, which lead to its demise, and perhaps a reluctance to engage in further muggle-targeted projects constrained by a low price point.

Wurkkos is managed independently, and probably does pretty well with the FC11, so it may be more amenable to such a project. But, the FC11 is descended from the SC31, and aside from a few aspects, already fits most of the brief, so they might be able to make it work, but on the other hand, also question why a variation of what it already produces is necessary, or worthwhile.
