It's definitely true that the Puchimasu rights are cheaper to acquire, and that short 4koma style shows can gain popularity in the West. But I still question the decision to bring over a spin-off as a test of the market when the same show would perform better had the original been aired before the derivative. I asked the same question when iDOLM@STER skins were made available for download in Ace Combat. I feel that this isn't a good marketing decision.
And although FUNI has produced decent dubs in the past, I am going to remain cautiously optimistic if a dub is announced. There's no precedent for maintaining artistic integrity; the licensor will localize and change names if they think it will sell better.

If it didn't grow back the next day, how would cutting Chihya's hair solve the smothering problem?

I'm sure for Ace Combat's case, that it cost next to nothing to put them up on the US marketplace, and they felt they could only gain money from doing it. Could be wrong, don't know how much it costs to put something up on the XBox Marketplace.
