And again, unlike alternatives such as the Hurricane, Spits (or Miles M.20) with (probably) better performance, the Defiant line already exists and is operating undercapacity.  We can start cranking out more Defiants off the line with very little lead time from the word go.

Compare that with the timeline for building a new factory or production line including tooling, jigs, and fixtures and finding where/how to draw skilled workers from other projects to increase production of the alternatives.

So it probably makes a good deal more sense in that time-sensitive context than it looks to without it.
