I'm actually trying to figure out the *downside* to blow-molded cones. Certainly, the NRE on the molds makes it impractical for smaller manufacturers, but they can do low-volume sourcing of balsa noses from the usual sources.

I guess I'm not seeing why this is a big deal. I've built plenty of kits with balsa noses and plenty with plastic, and I'm perfectly satisfied with either. Is it just the nostalgia factor?
