Following the successful experience of the blade tuner concept for superconducting cavities, a full parametric analysis has been performed for ILC cost optimization. Different design details have been reconsidered and optimized on the basis of their impact on the ILC requirements and on production costs. Two different designs have been then developed for two options of fabrication material: titanium or stainless steel. The realization of two prototypes, one for each type, has been recently launched for the designs qualification and comparison. In this paper we discuss the optimization rationales and the expected differences in cost and tuner integration and performances. Cold tests on cavities will be at the basis of the final choice for the ILC.
