If someone suggested switching to a new C++ compiler with 99% of the features of the C++ standard with the selling point that it ran template metaprograms 100x faster, could you convince your company to switch?

We don't care how much more green it would be, how fast it is, our main thing is always "how much does it cost" with everything converted to $$ (dev time, server cost, etc) and it can't change uptime, we would lose customers quickly without uptime, we have a fickle bunch.
