From a training stand point, hesitation is the last thing you want on a flusher or the bird will be out of range. I can't imagine another dog busting a point would be good for a young pointer either.

I actually considered a pointer this type but didn't figure they could hunt with Labs. Have you tried this before and how did it work?
I cannot hunt my Springer and pointer together. The Springer would do her thing but keep an eye on the pointer. As soon as he went on point she would rush over and flush the bird, frustrated the heck out of the pointer. Now my brother hunts the Springer and we head in separate directions.
