You do realize a lot of the people playing with the Au Ra now will more than likely spend an hour or two when early access/launch hits just to see if there's tweaks they can make. Or if their overall opinion on what they made has changed since now. I will be at least XD So there's literally no "advantage" other than we get to play dress up sooner.
Do feel for the console players though. As some have mentioned in the thread it would be nice if they had a character creation app for various devices/consoles that you could just mess with in your off time that could port the data into your game.
