Later was what I was suggesting. it's easy to do, in one word : pragmatic ! I 
think I will create at least a Jira  issue for this if
nobody disagree (with strong arguments ;o)

Yes true, but difficult to manage because product UI is generalised and 
morevover because of your point below.

Yes true, OO heritage ;o). So remains the case of different currencies for 
different variants. But is that realistic (this is a real
question for real people) ?

We may hope so, but I would prefer to do job because else I will wait for sure. 
I just want to know if nobody see drawbacks in
arguments above, or have better ideas  ?
