If a Empress Marava with J2 and 52.22 dTons of cargo space costing MCr 37.66 is economically viable enough that they're common...
Then a Subsidized Merchant with a J2, 117.32 dTons of cargo space costing MCr 77.02 should be a shoe in; especially since the Imperium is footing the payments for a cut of the profits.
In thirty years of playing Traveller it never occurred to me until last night to put a J2 drive in a SubMerch.
Looking at my map of the Imperium, J2 is a far more viable drive for a merchant ship since it's very rare that you need J3 to get where you need to go, but J2 are everywhere.
Economics of scale are everywhere. Notice that more than doubling the cargo space doesn't cost twice as much.
