Well, I can guess at one tradeoff right off the bat:  if you thought that
ordering from Sun gave you a good chance to practice patient waiting, just
try ordering a new highly-popular machine from Dec!  I haven't heard about
uVaxII deliveries, but I do know that the ETA on an 11/24 ordered just
after announcement was a full year.  Our 11/44 -- ordered not long after the
machine was announced -- took about 4 months, and that was quick:  the
configuration we ordered did not have much memory, which sped things up.
