the process to electrify obviously had to have been started long before the talks, I think it's safe to say before the IRT started construction.

If the MER had switched to the IRT system, they would have had to go out and re-aline every inch of third rail, and ordern subway contact shoes.

Also, consider that until the H system went into effect, Manhattan El track miles outnumbered IRT subway track miles about 2 to 1. it probibly would have been cheaper and easier for the still under construction IRT to have implemented El third rail instead.
