With Rubin Observatory coming online recently, we should be able to find many more of this type of event. So, it would make sense to have a more generic probe ready in standby and wait for the next interstellar object discovery. Then, send the probe to the interstellar object for a flyby mission. It would be revolutionary if the probe could directly detect the element and isotope composition of the comet tail during the flyby.
