Even simple nucleotide substitution models like REV, require ENORMOUS
computational resources to infer an evolutionary history.   And to do it on more
than 500 sequences is pretty much impossible without a supercomputer.  

Substituting more complex models (e.g. with subpopulations having different
environmental conditions / selection pressures) makes these costs all the worse!

But it's still a cool idea.  :-)
