One of the main advantages to locating the MOSFET PCB on or near the heater PCB is that you could use the light gauge OEM wires for a very short run from the heater to your new PCB. This would avoid the need to desolder the OEM leads, and replace them with heavier gauge leads.

BTW, I am very jealous about the pick and place machine
