But I cringe at the thought of an hour long burn.

I still don't understand why you're banning ion engines. It seems like it's because you don't want to have gigantic burns. But the thing is, it's not you who's flying the mission, it's other people. And it's not as if we're all making 1x speed video submissions. It would really only affect the entrant and not the judge which in this case is you. And why are you also making a point that "but then the best strategy" bal blah blah? If it's the best strategy people will use it. 

In all honesty, an hour is not that bad when compared to the sometimes months it takes for an actual real life probe to do a burn with an ion engine.

I really don't understand this limitation.
