That should be taken into account too.

While this is interesting, youre forgetting one possible variable here. That is (using your example) if the manufacturer is building TOW-2As. Is the manufacturer still capable of making TOW-1 (ie are the components still available to manufacture it.)? The manufacturer and its suppliers may have moved on and no longer making a key component(s) for the TOW-1.
