Does Leasing a Domain name EVER make sense?

Does this make sense?

You know how to generate traffic. However, all the domain names in a very lucrative niche are taken. Sadly, almost all of them are just parked pages. You decide to enter into a LEASE TO OWN system with the best domain in the category.

Advantages:

You get to test out the domain to see if, with a set amount of work and traffic, it can live up to its potential before you buy it outright.

Disadvantage:

Benchmarks can be slippery or set too high, you just end up watering someone else's garden.
