Do you prefer longer or shorter announce-to-release cycles?

I don't want a really long cycle or anything. I just hate going so long without hearing anything. But I would really like it if a pack were announced a couple months ahead of time, so we could all talk about it and pump each other up for it. Plus getting more and more details over a couple months' time is super exciting too! Completely radio silence on the other hand? That's just disheartening.
