Should Canada and Australia also buy Type 31?

Should the Royal Canadian Navy and Royal Australian Navy buy Type 31 as well as Type 26?

It makes sense for persistent forward presence, while Type 26 better suits high-end warfighting.

A Type 31 purchase depends on the mission Canada and Australia want their frigates to perform. Type 31 is a lower-cost, long-range presence ship that can operate from overseas hubs such as Bahrain or Singapore. Type 26 is the more valuable high-end warfighter for a navy that expects to deploy when a crisis requires maximum capability. A Type 31-like purchase makes sense if either navy wants persistent forward presence, but adds less if that task is absent from its force design.
