If you are going to be continually tweaking for 6 months before launching, it probably isn't worth waiting. If you think you can buckle down over a weekend and get something done, then set your deadline and have at the new design. Hiring somebody to do the design for you could be a good idea, and giving them the deadline lets them buckle down. Just plan for a launch with enough leeway that if they aren't done or you want to tweak things that you can still launch on time.
The trick is more setting a definate date to launch rather than is my design ready or not. That's a personal preference thing. Once you launch, you may not have time to work on the design.
