Want to give my site a radical new look, but I'm worried about the effect on SERPs.

I have a new Wordpress theme in mind, but it will require a bit of customization and tinkering. It's quite different to my current theme too.

Is it a good idea to 'introduce it gradually'? For example, I could have the new theme up during the morning (which is also the US market pre-dawn) and tinker around with it, and then put the old one back at lunch time, and do this for a month or so until I'm confident in the new theme?

Or would that be even more likely to affect my SERPs if Google notices the lack of consistency?
