I'm sure there's a few somethings in the works that will get you damned close on a hybrid frame.

If I was hunting big power and reliability I’d start here:

I still haven’t seen one complete, but I’ve seen a few people working on utilizing the new G series

As itchy as I was to pull the trigger on that flange adapter, I just couldn't stomach the 300 pound cost for a piece of metal. These things can be done for a fraction of the cost, so there's no reason on earth the company you listed should charge so much.

Only reason is if they're the only one making it and some people think they need it bad enough. They don't need to sell very many with the profit they're making.

Yup, they own the market right now, so they get to decide the value.

It’s a cast stainless piece, which isn’t cheap to manufacture especially in low volume.

Could’ve machined it from a solid piece, but the cost would be almost the same and with cast eventually they’d have better margins after XXX of them sold.

Can you 3D print something like that? I don't know what materials you can do that with.

It gets way too hot.

Porsche is 3D printing pistons.
