I do not think this argument makes much sense. Fenspace is no "strategy game" where you say "I put my whole research effort into this problem" to speed things up. The number of researchers working on the CGM and biomods is limited anyways.
The main problem with building modified CGMs will be that you cannot do experiments with them. Even if you find a brave (or even foolish) Fen who says "sure, I will test your new prototype", you can only use him or her once for your research.
I would suggest that the Biomolding process will be developed BEFORE Fenspace gets the Catboy Machine and the Puma Machine. Because with Biomolding there will be some people willing to do experiments, knowing that they have a way to turn back after some time if your experiment goes horrible wrong.
I would suggest placing the Biomolding in 2018-2020, with the new machines coming in early 2021 or 2022.
