Well, I wasn't thinking they would say "FI Ready" in the marketing. Track spec would be a good way of selling it I agree.

Basically, it could be the answer to the 'Needs more power' crowd with relatively minimal investment by Toyoburu. Might be a difficult sell in more regulated regions, but I'd bet at least the American market would be big enough to justify the investment. Also, it wouldn't be stepping on the toes of the flagships, just capturing more money that would otherwise go somewhere else.

I guess I disagree that most people would pass on properly engineered, integrated, installed, and warrantied upgrades in favor of spending more time and money to install similar parts with higher risk because they don't have the resources to perform real integration.
