4u spacebars

I know there are not a lot of options out there right now for 4u spacebars, but I would really like the size. I'm into little ortho keyboards, so maybe a lot of you wouldn't be interested in this. I had an idea that a 4u could be made to directly replace 2x2u spacebars on boards that also have a single, centered spacebar option. This would include the MK Ultra boardwalk and the OLKB Plank and Preonic.

Thoughts? Would it be marketable if I could get Signature to produce it in DSA?

Don’t know if these are still available:
wiki/R5_leftovers#HONEY.2FSPACE400.2FGR ... 7C_.248.29
wiki/Round_6/HoneyG_Kits_2#HONEYB.2FSPA ... 7C_.249.29
but they have an impossible profile anyway.

Tipro staggered keyboards have 4u spacebars as a standard (same stem configuration as above, with middle stem and 2 stabilizers). They consist of a base and a top and are quite flat.
I’d be interested in a few (like 5 or 6) if Signature Plastics would make them with an acceptable profile.

DSA is what I would want. It's what works best for ortho and moving keys all over.
