I don't have the time to develop the scripts, also, imho, that solution doesn't scale easily. Given our current model and go to market strategy, we could have to turn laptops in a matter of days. So, while yes, your solution didn't cost any hard capital, you have some dev time, I'm sure.

Sysprep can insert plenty mass storage drivers, then clean out the unused ones once it finishes. As an example what I did with ris a while ago (applies here to): For inf updates and machine specific updates, you can script something that deduces the platform then runs a script to populate the registries runonce to install all the specifics.
