I hope that the Swiss will stay level-headed and not get into high-speed trains. Reliable connections are far better for more people. The opposite example I would like to present is the high-speed Berlin-Munich train line. It has gobbled up a lot of the railway budget. According to Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin%E2%80%93Munich_high-spe...] this was the most expensive transportation project in Germany. In my opinion it would have been better to bring the rest of the infrastructure up to a higher standard.
