Best time to upgrade to SW 2019?

Hey guys,

I have a basic question, with regard to deciding when to upgrade. I have a lot of Inventor experience, but only about 1.5 years on SW. Inventor was known for adding a lot of content in one release, and implementing a lot of bug fixes in the next. Is SW similar, in your opinion? If so, which cycle would you consider 2018 vs. 2019?

I am in a new position with a new company and have been tasked to help decide.

I also have had a wise few folks recommend to always wait for the first service pack to avoid being a test rabbit. Any ideas how far out that will be for 2019, and do many of you agree with that logic?

Thanks!
