Given the state of military procurement in the West, it's probably best to minimize risk and complexity as much as possible and stick to one design. Especially with the other massive programs the Canadian military is doing at the same time; the 15 Rivers-class destroyers and the 88 (probably) F-35s for the Air Force. Making all three programs succeed is going to require one of the greatest feats of project management in Canadian history.
