Small-batch custom build: what does changing hydraulic brand cost?

The client specifies the pump and main valve brands; the order is eight units and the factory standard is another make.
The factory quotes USD 3,200 more per machine, which the client finds high.
Is it really that costly in small batches, and is there a middle path?

Eight units get no volume price, and re-matching and commissioning add cost; USD 3,200 is not wild.

A middle path is to change the pump only, not the valve; pump reliability is what clients care about.

Break the difference into purchase, matching and warranty lines; easier to accept than one total.
