Upgrade to OSX ML?

I upgraded from Lion (no clean install yet) and have zero issues. Even VMware Fusion continued to work just fine.
ML is faster/better than Lion in all respects save for battery life. IMHO the battery life trade-off is worth it for the speed increase. Coming from Lion, the improvement is noticeable.

I have also run ML in a virtual machine with 2gb RAM allocated to it and it was snappier than Lion.
I have the installer downloaded but haven't pulled the trigger yet...
I'm waiting on a Samsung 830 512 to arrive and take my OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G out so I'll be doing a fresh install on the Samsung.
I'm a little concerned though because of the iOS-ization of OSX and ML stirred in that direction even more than L.
I'll have to read more in the OSX forum
