Holding off on some features to get to market sooner might not be optimal. Some customers might be inclined to hold off on their purchase if they know there is more to come, unless Titan offers free upgrades for some defined period. If you are going to war with a Giant like ISRG, do you want to only load a bullet in one chamber?

If it can cut a full year off the timeline and they can promise upgrades, it might be worth it. If it only saves a couple/few months, it might be better to wait for everything. Also, from a regulatory standpoint, they can get one approval for everything up front, or they will need to file iterative submittals for each new feature. Each subsequent submittal incurs delay and additional risk. Not that I want Larry the Cable Guy designing the instrument, but I find his philosophy to be applicable here - Git'R Done!
