I concur.

We're prototyping now, which means I'm already placing part orders based on promising designs. Once we get somewhat down that road, I won't be able to change direction even if the new items are great.

I know schedules are tough, but releasing new parts after the build season has started only encourages teams to procrastinate... and that's not what we want to do.

Having access to accurate part details, and a guarenteed delivery lets teams make an informed decision... go now, or wait.
