Let's put it in another possible context:
Create an extremely dense and reliable LEO platform in cube-sat form that weigh's a fraction of AO-40's weight using today's high-density components/systems and create a reliable and feature rich HEO cubesat.
The only problem with this, is that certain components can't be miniaturized. Example: Antennas. And HEO satellites need more sophisticated antennas.
Pity the cube-sat idea didn't finish up with a ten INCH cube...
