Personal experience bears that out when buying underdeveloped websites that have been indexed for years. They, once better developed, rapidly gain traffic without any "sandbox" effect. So hopefully by registering for 5 years, it will encourage you to maintain a continuous presence in the search engine index and that will definitely be well worth it.
