Yeah, changing early can work too. However, I often find that I prefer to build the skills up early so no one character is significantly behind any of the others in terms of key skills.
Granted, I don't train skills so that's one reason why I may prefer to change later but it always seems to me that it's better to specialize early and then change later on.
By changing later you don't lose too much in the way of skills since they'll be quite high anyway so losing a bonus shouldn't hurt too much. You also gain access to a lot of good equipment when going from a pure caster to a hybrid.
