Astrotrain might be the more popular of the two, so he'd possibly generate a higher demand.
Also, making it Blast Off runs into the situation of "Why did they make this into a Combiner Team character if he's not a Combiner mold and by himself?" which, while similar to the "Why did they make this into a Triple Changer character if he's not a Triple Changer mold?" issue with Astrotrain, but I kinda feel that the former might be a greater offense than the latter.
And the Payload mold at least does have three modes (robot, shuttle, gun), so Astrotrain would still be some kind of Triple Changer.
