From the list of t2 blueprints BoB owns (posted on this forum), I'd say that even well before the introduction of invention, they got their t2 mods at cost or at least at deflated prices.
So I don't think it will change much. If anything, their producers in empire will have to sell more to generate the same income for the alliance, which could mean there are less available for their own members, or it could mean that their own members will have to pay more.
Availability, not so much cost, will be the determining factor in whether they'll use it or not.
With that being said, I think they'll be using T2 items for a while still.




are saying that a huge proportion of the cap ships are being replaced on lag petitions.
