Deferral will look much better than a semester where you failed everything because you were working, and deferring to spend time seriously working on a product will be a net benefit anyway. Think of deferring to work on a product as being like a semester off to take an internship - remember how popular waterloo grads are these days? That is in large part because they spend so much time in internships/co-ops.
