What about building up a complete aluminum engine using these parts?
Sure they are expensive, but you are still looking at probably less than
$8K for an engine, low by airplane standards. They have a part for the
20B as well.

The front and 20B intermediate alloy housings are news to me. Perhaps Francois can talk 
Jim Mederer at Racing Beat  into certifying those RB end housings. That would save a lot of money 
for Francois not making his own end housings. Then all you need do Francois is make
and certify your own rotor housings, rotors and e-shaft.

This several year old RB engine only uses two aluminum end housings.
