Full flat grind SE Endura: why not?

I'm sitting here playing with a black SE Endura and a blue FFG Endura, and thought it would be a pretty tasty combo to pair them up in one blade. Consider what a FFG SE Endura would do for you. The cutting efficiency and usable edge retention of a serrated blade, with the slicing efficiency and weight reduction of the smooth-sided FFG blade.

Now, you Nervous Nellies don't go telling me that the FFG edge is too thin to support the serrated edge. The sabre grind on the existing SE model is pretty thin down there at the edge already. You would pretty much just be losing that shoulder where the primary grind meets the flat. I say its doable.

Mr. Sal, I hereby waive all intellectual property rights and patents I have in this marvelous invention - as long as you produce it in Powernoodle Blue, call it the PowerEdge and sign one for me with a Dremel. I'm easy.
 
Why? It's been done before the other models just not the endura.
 
C54 Calypso, G-10 Police and Police 3 have all been done in Full Flat grind with serrated edge, so it is definitely doable. I know of no reason they shouldn't do an Endura that way other than poor sales for SE in general.
 
Also done on the caly 3 and FRN/micarta calypso jr all discontinued.
 
The military and maybe others we are forgetting too.
 
I got my uncle a serrated stretch and it is ffg and very thin. The stretch is awesome
