Remember 0.x was developed by part time inexperienced volunteers, and it still went pretty far just on that. We're proposing to develop C2 fulltime and team members now have industry experience.
Despite the fact we're confident C2 will be a substantial improvement in both development time and stability over 0.x, if you still have doubts, by all means just wait and see how it develops - although you might miss out on the early adopter licenses, which should be an excellent deal.
