Yes I did. I figured out that I should go ahead anyway. More choice is always good, right ?

Yes. Go ahead. Competition is the driver of innovation.

However I am afraid without the opportunity to put a man year work into it, it will be hard to tick all the boxes.

I really hope you succeed, though.

Not necessarily. Focusing talent on a collaborative effort can make one great product instead of many not so great ones.
