Yeah!!! Let's keep at 'em David.
Propulsion "is" the only answer we have to a better orbit. Sure - it has difficulties but then the challenge will be worth it. A 3U with 2U worth of propulsion should do it.

Another (more serious) possibility.
Forget GTO and negotiate a low cost launch on one of the remaining 5 Vega development flights (1500km?)
Then use propulsion to get to MEO.
Better than sitting on the ground and it tests the propulsion systems and software for P5A
