The question here is how long are we willing to pay a d-man $6.5 mil a year to develop and hit his prime. And would he have even hit his prime here?
It's like an investment. Would you invest in a company with little proven track record in hopes it becomes a multi-million dollar company? Or would you want to invest in a company that already has it's legs in hopes to make a smaller but more likely return on investment. When it comes to dollars, potential is worth nothing.
