It’s mostly weight that is the issue. Ounces/Grams matter so you have to choose very carefully what to include. Adding a brush means something else may need to be removed. So you have to make strategic decisions on what’s most important. A longer lifespan but less data, or more data but a shorter lifespan.
Even without it, Insight has still been operational twice as long as it was expected to last.
