[FTC]: LEGO Mindstorms EV3

I know we are in the middle of competition season for FTC, but I saw that CES LEGO announced a new version of the Mindstorms brick available in the fall of 2013, the EV3. On a comparison of the NXT and EV3 on the Lego page it says that the EV3 is not allowed for the 2013-2014 FTC season.

I was curious to see the thoughts of upgrading to the EV3 for future seasons.

Do you feel the upgraded capabilities are worth the investment, should FTC consider other options, or just keep the NXT as is?

Here is the link for the EV3.
