What if I did this: make engines 5 kT, and remove their supply capacity. Replace Supply Bays with various types of "reactors" that store the supplies the engines used to store (also 5 kT components). Then, you have a choice between faster ships, and longer ranged ships (much more so than in the current system).

That's what I've done in my mod. The good thing is what you describe -- more variation of ship design. The bad thing is, when your ship-design circuits are running on autopilot, you often forget to put any supply components on your ships. I'm considering giving all the hull types a built in supply storage of like 250, so when this does happen, you won't get quite as screwed.
