Can HPR survive with $100 J motors?

Last check of inventory showed that J motors account for only 4% of the personal inventory. A stash of G's reign supreme and will likely last for years to come. Even with the recent price hikes, there are needs to be filled. A recent new local dealer discount offer pulled the trigger for an Aerotech J275W. Even at a discount, it's more than twice what I paid for previous J's but when there is a niche to fill, high cost pain can be suppressed for the sake of completeness.
If that were the case for me, I'd be considerably poorer... but I'd have much more rocket stuff!
Added: ... because I hate shipping charges, so it's a good thing that I don't live there!

I'm kind of glad that i'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to my hobbies. I can't hardly walk into a hobby shop or HL with walking out with something. If they don't have rockets I want I grab wadding, motors something. When I got my level 1 I started looking at all the rockets in my build pile and started looking for motors. Figured If I was going to pay a Hazmat fee then I'm only paying it once this year and bought a ton of F, G and H motors. My current stock of A thru E should take me well into 2024 
Bill has told me in the past that I'm his best customer. I have 180+ rockets. Most of the parts are from BMS.
