Early app with one PS or later with PS & DS?

URM-MA 165/3.56,
Just wanted to get some opinions on whether it would be better to send my app in super early with only one essay (the PS) or to wait til I can craft a good 2nd essay (the DS)... My personal statement does contain many diversity issues (immigration, heritage), so this could actually become my DS if I decide to write another essay. However, these types of essays take me a while to write/revise/perfect so I'm not so sure of what I should do.
I'm targeting Penn with an ED, whose apps come out on Sept 1st...
