At present it works out to about the same machine time as the White Water. Despite polycarbonate being dramatically easier to machine than C110 copper, there's a LOT more cutting passes that are being done. The machinists were being very conservative though for this prototype though, and there exists a number of design tweaks and a more aggressive cutting approaches to speed it up.
