Not necessarily a spoiler - although a large engine will probably
need a more complex fuel injector than what Armadillo is using...
aren't they just spraying fuel from a single jet across the exit
of the catpack? This injection _technique_ may well require 
refinement as the engine size increases... most large engines use
lots of little holes to inject liquid propellants, instead of
a single stream. This helps atomize the propellant and improve
mixing and combustion.
