You WILL lose stopping difference between the 2 when cold.

I use to just swap them out prior to the first session.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy
The problem is people are having this cold-bite issue with the OEM pads.

OP, everything I've read sounds 100% like the pads are either not bedded properly or (more likely) under temperature. I don't know how to fix this, besides either (1) riding the brakes a little (terrible solution); or (2) getting a more daily-friendly brake pad. I'm not sure what the OEM pads are on the PP, but if they come with a "hybrid" type pad like a DS2500, then you should ditch those and get some basic ceramics for street use.
