1- The most important lessons learned from building are watching the product and yourself fail and remembering those lessons for next time.
2- You still haven't failed yet. You haven't launched yet. You haven't run out of money yet. Why would you quit? Don't you want to see how people respond to your product?
3- If you stop now your greatest competitor is you. Not the other guy. You'll just destroy your chance at money, growth, and learning some awesome lessons in launching a Saas.
4- If you quit you will have spent 2 months working on this for nothing.
What if you've spent x months focusing on the product instead of the business (ie, not seeing what potential customers think early on), get to roll-out point and hit a roadblock? A roadblock that lets you pause for a second to realize the product reach may be quite limited vs another path that you could've gone with from the start.
This is my situation. As for your 4 points, I realize all of that now and totally agree with it, but I do wonder about the certainly larger market if I'd go down the other path now.
