No on both accounts unfortunately. The chopped strand mat that comes with the Unimould needs the styrene that is in the Unimould resins, it wont work with epoxy. And you can make a split mould with the tooling pre-preg, but not with the pattern you have. You need a solid pattern with rigid flanges, you cant have temporary barriers.
In all honesty, I would use the Unimould and hust use the low temp cure cycle. I've used the X-Preg system with vinylester tooling before and it works fine. Theres a few pinholes here and there, and if you need a service temperature higher than 80C then you need to do a post-cure out of the mould, but all of that is way less trouble than buying a whole new tooling system.
