Similar to taking a job with a Part 91 company that has a Caravan but is "about to upgrade to a King Air 90." Until you are taxiing that King Air away from the FBO, you are still flying a Caravan.

I wouldn't hitch my QOL to a <possible> Displacement. See emb145's quote above re: potential future events.
