Yes, but my point was that we have some certainty that there will be little to no short-term impact from having a differing product now, due to the abnormally high demand. Why not take advantage of that certainty while you have it? Bear in mind, however, that this was not really my point. I don't buy the argument that introducing an improved product will somehow drive people away during the transition phase.
