Once you get the design down, I think this is a false dichotomy. Also I would suggest that if you focus on more generic flexible (what I call "superset") features, then long-run the codebase becomes a lot smaller. For example, when rewriting the the project accounting side for LedgerSMB, I generalized it out, and so the same logic could also handle funds accounting.
