I will toss in a couple of more concerns while we are debating...
1) Conversion will delay V2 (how much is unknown).
2) Post V2 I was planning to look at tools to build Win 32 programs
  (for Windows 95 or Win3.1 with the Win32s DLL) but this would require
  COFF.  Look at doesn't mean it would ever happen :-)
