I have heard that making the SRBs a one piece expendable rocket would come out
to be cheaper than the reusable o-ring SRB. It would be less complex, and it 
would not have any o-ring problems. Plus you wouldn't have to spend money on
retrieving it and cleaning the salt water out of it. (Though there would turn
out to be quite a few SRBs laying around in the ocean.)
