I would be extremely interested in that analysis, but sadly we don't have the data to make any interesting conclusions about big products like that. Our preliminary analysis suggests that for products even several times larger than ours, it still makes a lot of sense to at least seriously consider it.

Parent brings a good point: How do you define your strategic advantage, when you're nullifying the one of your code? It's hard to come to investors if you say "Anyone can make exactly our software within minutes". Do you have Android-like trademarks which would prevent others from doing it?
