This will be even more apparent later in the game with NAS when you're forced to build hundreds of kamikaze "ping" scouts.
Maybe your extra minerals will overcome that. I dunno.

Using a FF or scout with QJ5 and X laser (standard chaff) for pinging you can go w9 for 1 year for 48 fuel. The scout can just manage this, and the FF can do it easily.
There isn't a cheap w10 engine, and you can't ping effectively with a 2 year trip, so you can't do much better with the fuel mizer or scoops.
