Also, this transfer of Pulsars to replace similar aged Temsas ain't gonna last that long is it. I would imagine there is a bigger picture with this move. I would personally say, keep the Temsas going until there is no spare parts from others to keep them going. May aswell get more value for money out of them. Then have these North West Pulsars spare.
I can imagine the incoming Pulsars will be of far better quality than then Temsas, who have had historically long (and expensive) lead time on parts, and ultimately high total cost of ownership that sealed their fate. Along with the Gemini siblings, they are a proven product with a larger spares pool, but are underbelly only good for a few more years.
