I have to disagree with Jacob and reinforce what Greg posted, everything I've heard said they've made considerable effort to ensure both platforms will be equally as powerful and that you will have a C interface to LabVIEWs libraries (image processing and such).

Now it would be hard for us to say whether switching your team to LabVIEW would be a worth it. As many have said on this forum, some people pick up the LabVIEW language quicker then others. So I would present both and let your programmers decide, either way you will always find plenty of help here.
