A shaman in my game ran afoul of a nosferatu's compulsion power and long-story short, is now missing a right eye and has a seriously damaged left one. The player is interested in attaining a replacement eye(s) but is wary of using anything that leads to essence loss. According to augmentation, cultured and Type-O organs do not require anti-rejection measures and can be implanted without a cost to essence.

When I look on p.127 of Augmentation, it lists the prices for Type O and Cultured eyes. My question is, given that Type O is cheaper and more quickly available than culturing bioware from your own genetic profile, what is the advantage to getting cultured bioware at all? Not trying to say its an error; just trying to see if there's anything we've missed.
