I think today is the only time where we could be optimistic because right now there is no way back.
Even traditional transplants today could achive a good deal for you. And Who knows, maybe in 2 years stuff such as Cole can produce consitent 80% regrowth :-)

I'm putting more eggs into the 'Dr. Cole using Acell' basket everyday.

Plucked hairs and FUE multiplication will be future treatments i am sure. I mean even traditional transplants on high NW scales are getting better and better. Now put the factor of expanded donor at hand and you are good to go

I think you're either misinterpresting or twisting Bernstein's words. To my understanding, he's simply said he doesn't feel hair-multiplication is close (i.e., it's more like "ten years," than ten months, away), not that he's sure it'll show up within the next decade.

I really don't know; right now, though (i.e., speaking to ten–twenty years from now, based on to-day), I certainly wouldn't call it a sure-thing that it will. Frankly, I'm trying hard to withhold any such optimism until there's fairly widespread (which I'd characterize, here, as being ~70%) acceptance within the community of reputable hair-transplant surgeons that limitless donor-supply and/or "non-surgical" hair-restoration have/has arrivedl; I'm reluctant to adopt such hope on people's proposing things that "look promising."

This was a good interview from Dr. Bernstein last November.

Well it's going to happen eventually. You're right not to get too optimistic though. This is all just conjecture until it actually arrives. Phase 2 results from both Histogen and Aderans will tell us where we're really at. Until then it's just a guessing game I suppose. In 2 years those phase 2 results will be out and then we can truly evaluate where we're at with this whole thing.

Its always 5 or 10 years away.
How many times have we heard it?

I know. It's annoying alright. At least we've got some legimate human trials going on. There's too much money in this for some not to crack it eventually. Whether we'll be able to avail of it is another matter.
