Nemo was never rejected for being too expensive, the Nemo itself wasn't ever in the running for adoption by the EFF as a mainline unit. Gryps war was a chaotic time for the EF and by the time things settled down at the end of the first NZ war, GM III was already the EFF standard grunt but the EF still accepted Nemo into its forces as being equivalent to the GM II that was still in service, and techdata from the Nemo was being incorporated into the next grunt, the Jegan.
