I feel like I have to ask, how much benefit are you going to see in a 3-4 month period by ordering 40 of these? Would it be any additional burden on your team to order maybe 15 or so for the season, and then order an additional 25 next summer?

While I think we are probably not going to see dire shortages, I don't really get the rationale of purchasing so many at a time. If this is something that a lot of financially able teams do, it may actually have a small effect on supply.
