one good aspect off all this, 1c kept the CoD engine and did not transfer it to RoF

An engine as complicated like CoD one is almost nothing without the people who built it. I understand 777 decision to go with their engine. For them is not only a very good deal, probably also the only feasible. They would be lost working with another people engine that is no more working there. Of course for us the deal is not as good.
