I would shoot for a later date. Historically software releases tend to be delivered behind schedule. I hope this won't be the case with D7 (tests should help!) but I wouldn't bet against it. Having the additional time will also give you an opportunity to talk more about what is available in contrib. I don't see people building larger D7 sites until at least a few months. I'm not in publishing so I have no clue if there is a first mover advantage on the marketing side.
