Using MC to add Eon subcluster nodes with different instance type

Is there a way to use Management Console to add new instances to an Eon cluster, but with an instance type different from the primary subcluster? I want to have subclusters with different instance types to isolate workloads, and manage compute costs. E.g.
- default subcluster (primary): Three r5.4xlarge instances
- analytics subcluster (secondary): Three r5.8xlarge instances
When I try to add instances to the cluster through MC it does not give me option to select a different instance type from default subcluster (option is greyed out). Reviewing documentation makes me think I will have to go through laborious process of adding instances manually from EC2 console with an AMI then adding them to the cluster as a new subcluster (via admintools). I feel like MC should be able to streamline this, maybe I missed something.

MC 9.3.1-2
Thanks!

When you revive the Eon Mode Database in MC there is an option to choose instance types for the cluster.
See: https://www.vertica.com/docs/9.3.x/HTML/Content/Authoring/ManagementConsole/ManagingDatabaseClusters/MCAWSClusters/ProvisioningAndRevivingEonDB.htm
I'm not looking to revive an Eon database and that doesn't really accomplish what I am asking. I want to add a new subcluster with different instance types than the primary on a running cluster.
