Well, looking at the current pricing for Vans Firewall Forward kits.....yowzee! $11k.
At this point, it is cheaper to buy many of the parts from Spruce or other vendors and make up your own kit. Just blindly adding a 1.5-2x multiplier to all components makes the FWF kit not such a deal anymore. I'm not so sure an extra $4k for "convenience" is worth it.
Since laser cut parts are not bad, I'm wondering if someone is going to come up with an alternative ($750!) baffle kit.
I'm starting to work up my own list of parts. Some don't have alternatives, but many do. I certainly don't need another bag of AN426AD3-3.5 rivets!
