In the US purchase menu for July, 2007 APCs with slats seem rather expensive. APCs are 37 purchase points for a standard M113A1. Add bedsprings and they are 115. Those are some expensive slats, even if you had to add a new transmixer for the additional weight.

Strikers have a similar disparity: M1126 ICV-Gl is 128. Add slats and it's 218. Can adding slats actually double or triple the cost of the vehicle in reality?

Thanks,
