I wouldn't say that it's the night and day, orgasmic kind of difference like everyone else seems to think it is. But it's worth spending a hundred bucks on, and then putting some time into getting used to.
The learning curve depends partly on you, and also on the terrain you ride. If it's easy XC stuff, a couple of weeks should be fine. Practice unclipping somewhere away from traffic though. Toppling over at traffic lights is kind of embarrassing.
