have two cars bought with one key for each. i bought keys to match both cars [along with matching chip] so now both cars have three individual keys per car, and it IS so easy to do. blank keys were $24/25.50 for a pair to suit BA/BF. it then cost me $33 per key to be cut [so $66 for two keys cut per car] & then using ForScan i was able to program the keys to both cars which otherwise would have cost me $144 to cut & program thru the locksmiths [not sure if that was per key or not?].

have even swapped upper column over on my wagooon & programmed the keys ... again using ForScan & a laptop.
It leaves you with 2 working keys that start your vehicle
But is only recognised as 1 key if you need to program a replacement engine computer or bcm and the op seems to be looking for the cheapest option and if to expensive you say thank you and walk away

I believe you will find the bf key is the same shape but uses a 4d60 chip but you require a 4d63 chip for the Focus

Don’t know enough about Forscan myself but don’t you need to purchase the extended licence to be able to program keys
