Easier, definitely, cheaper maybe not. In the end you need and upper, a lower and a barrel, so total costs could be similar except ATRS ain't exactly on the cheap side for anything they do.
I think for some people the long term goal would be to get 1 lower and multiple uppers. Save costs.
50 beowulf would be ideal or 458 socom on the stock macabee upper

Have you tried just saying you want them to redesign the da50 entirely to fit onto the SLR lower?
They could have done that with an xcr lower too.
Or a bushmaster lower.
Or a ar180b lower.
Would have been the same. And stocking up on barrels and bolts wouldn't have helped with those either.
