You build a part store not the end of the world, or just include the part store in the purchase. Hell we have 767s that have GE motors a fleet of 767/757s with Prats and another fleet with RR. If you get enough aircraft the commonality doesn't matter anymore. Now a 1 off? That's a much different story than 60+.
