Red face New Works in 2 weeks?

Hello all, I have just got back from my dealer having taken Swiper for his first oil/brake fluid change.
Got chatting whilst waiting and was told that there will be a works upgrade available in two weeks time (the same as I already have on Swiper), dealer fitted. The factory fit will not be available until next year I was told.
Furthermore he had one! they were running it in and he said I could drive it on Sunday if I like.
Well, I had already decided to keep Swiper for a few years as I love the supercharged works and was wary of a turbo charged one, but he assured me that the works has a twin turbo and with the uprated torque would be speedy, although the bhp is still only 210.
I am tempted (I think) but would anyone advise me to wait for the factory fit? Will it be better/faster does anyone think. Obviously my dealer doesnt want me to wait hes after my cash!
