It's not an either/or thing. You could spend, say, 1% of your resources on setting up a colonization wavefront.
Right - but there are practically bound to be aliens out there somewhere who just want to conquer the universe - and couldn't care less about ecstacy or utopias. Those folk seem likely to eat utopias for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Unless we are a lot more confident that those folk are nowhere nearby, we should probably behave conservatively.
