>Just how difficult is it to change the inclination of an orbit?

It takes energy.  I believe that the most economical (energy/fuel)
place to make inclination changes is at the equator.  Not familiar
with ion engines but if you can wait...many burns at the equator
probably could make significant inclination changes.
