Is this going to end up being a "jack of
all trades, master of none" type of
weapon that will end up being too
expensive to procure?

Out of curiosity, how does the stowed envelope for the MDBA meteor
compare with the AIM-120C for internal stowage? Airframe length and body
diameter look compatible but the intakes make it look like the 120C with
clipped fins and wings has a smaller overall envelope.
