And when it comes to a massive demographic shift...if you're going to insist on looking at the slim chance of it happens, then you also need to analyse why. Why anyone who would want to buy the licence from Saban would want to go with that huge risk. And it is a huge risk. The 'adult demographic' you're talking about doesn't exist as a comprehensive whole. You have those who like things as they are, those who simply want series like RPM, or Lost Galaxy, and then there are those who want things like...that bootleg.
But even ignoring that, there is a much larger reason that anything massively different than what we have now is next-to-impossible. And that is, that Power Rangers relies on toy sales to function, and adult fans buy far less toys then kids do, because everything has to be perfect if it will live on a shelf, whereas a kid is just happy to have their favorite character to play with.
Less toys bought, and those toys needing to be a higher quality means a far narrower profit margin, if any at all. Which makes continued production of an 'adult' Power Rangers series impossible to sustain.
Which is why that second idea is impossible. Producing two series simultaneously would be a massive drain - even if, as you say, the second were to be much smaller. Why bother with that drain if only one series would be a profit anyway?

Oh, I know it's extremely unlikely, I just don't like people calling merely improbable things impossible. Impossible is not a word to be thrown around lightly, in my never to be humble opinion.
