I think we can have both.  Pete and Simon seem to like and admire each
other.  Simon has become an accomplished musician through his own
efforts.  There's a big gap in ages, and Simon was too young to be
involved with The Who back in the Seventies, but now he's in something
of the same situation as Zak, where he has a second chance at working
with Pete and the band, something that was likely a childhood dream. 
We saw that evidence of a great chemistry between him and Pete on the
QUAD tour--so let it develop and see what we get this time.  It could
be a memorable result.
