The problem they had when trying to create a short contract was making it shorter. I think most of the clauses in the ECC are good and useful so it is a struggle to simplify the contract without losing good discipline and good practice project management. As you rightly say - any elements you like from the ECC you can add them back into the Works Information. The more you add back in the more likely it is that you should go with ECC option A in the first place, but the short contract does have its place even if you want to add some bits back in. No hard and fast rules here.
