LAN aggregation
If they can work it out so that both standards are on track, one benefit might be that you wouldn't have to aggregate links. Many organizations will use LAN aggregation before upgrading to the next level - for instance, grouping together up to four links of Gigabit Ethernet before upgrading to 10 Gigabit.
If 40G were an option, then instead of aggregating four 10G links, you could more quickly upgrade to 40G, and having a single link is generally regarded as a cleaner approach. And then you could go up to 100G sometime after that as needed.
