The highest quality product is finished first, yeah. Often the difference is between finishing within an order of magnitude of the predicted time versus not finishing at all. But the highest quality product is almost always finished first. There are exceptions, and AFAIK, those are all for very small projects. In my experience, high-quality takes about a week to be paid back. So if you have something smaller that you'll throw away after a use, you may want to cut corners.
