That said, no Basalt definitely didn't have a broader customization spectrum than these F230 customs do. The different variants may have been more different between each other than F230 customs are, but as for total dependency on picking exactly the right parts, I'd say that the F230 combinations have a wider range as far as customization goes (unless there are 28 other variants linked to MF-H Basalt Kerbecs BD145/230 CS that I don't know about).
My point being, dependency on correct construction/usage is common to all competitive customs, and, even so, you can configure it in 30 different ways, and it will still work. It isn't nearly as "niche" (don't know if that's an appropriate word, but I'll use it for the sake of clarity) as our friend Uwik is suggesting.
