I actually went through my portfolio today just for this post and I noticed that I only have 3 .net domains. I have my name .net (.com refuses to sell and rightfully so)... PrivateSeller.net (.com refuses to sell)... and 1 other... you'd think after doing this for so long that I would let certain biases aside (which I do occasionally) but I just do not like .net... I agree with Rob on the 1/8 to 1/12th value off a .com. Honestly I would prefer a .org that suits the extension then a .net that is respectfully so.
.net will forever remain the 1/2 I mean 1/12 brother of .com. What a bastard.
In the case you mention the .net is more valuable due to development. Should the .com render a similar service, traffic would deviate to the .com and would surely overtake the fragile .net. In pure generic terms... .com will always out perform.
If you can give me one example of an undeveloped .net that gets more traffic over an undeveloped .com (same domain of course) I would give you kudos.
