That's true. One area I think you may run into problems is the 3D radar arrays. I you look at the Tico and the Burke...you can see that the arrays on the Tico are higher than the Burke (this is probably one of the big reasons the Tico's are the superior platform). If you really wanted to make a Burke variant to replace the Cruisers...you would probably have to redesign the superstructure which would not be cheap. It may turn out to be more cost effective to start a whole new design...conventional design, to get a more effective Tico replacement.
