E400MMC would be good middle ground. But other than perhaps 6043-48 being replaced by newer surplus B9TLs, I doubt GNE will replace 6071-83 given that they're a heavy duty vehicle type. Most likely a deep refurb if anything.

If GNE were to target mass B9TL replacement, no doubt it would either be the 56 or Cobalt & Coast. B9TLs are overkill for both of them routes.
