That's good, the old saying goes "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".

Too many variables to yet know.  Depends on how soon V-2 diners delivered, then how soon V-2 into limited service after work at MIA, then unrestricted service allowed,  Then if a sudden Heritage retirement necessary such as unplanned major work ,  wreck, Recall of V-2s for some reason.  A decision to reinstate Star diners.  Bet others can come up with other reasons.
