Won't help you at the moment, but we are addressing this big-time in
4.7.x. Basically, you will be able to build variants of each item 
based upon options, and if you want to go farther you can even implement
a complete modular bill of materials.

It is starting to look pretty cool if I do say so myself -- if you looked
at Tallyman's matrix options, it is all of that and more.

Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other possibilities.
