If they continue to go down this route I would like them to switch to Americium-241. They would still find a way to make it cost way too much money but at least the materials are relatively cheap and it would be <2 W/kg with Plutonium-238 anyway so it's hardly an area where mass autism is that great of a benefit.

Juno would require 436 million worth of RTGs, that's almost half the total mission cost.
