I think that economics has more to do with HIE not being in 120.  Kodak
doesn't turn much of a profit on the film.  This, despite the fact that
HIE is 70mm split down the middle and HSI is their 8X10 quartered. 
Adding 120 to the mix (don't I wish it would happen) would involve
retooling and hoping that the consumer market would pay for it.  I doubt
that they could make a go with this, although I'd certainly be a
supporter in their efforts.
