It's almost certainly true that the first couple of months of production will be absorbed by the March people; but the April / May people may get their smarts fairly quickly thereafter. As I said, just guessing...

I'll bet almost all of the first year worth of reservations will be followed through on, and a lot of used 451s will be immediately available for a few grand more than the cost of a brand new one.
