Should I use SQL 2008?

As I have noted in previous posts I'm currently migrating to a New Production Server.  This always brings to the fore the question of installing new technologies.

Previously I was using SQL2005 (Workgroups) for Production and I have been using 2005 Express locally for Development.  Just recently (two weeks ago) I switched to SQL 2008 Express on my dev machine, so far I haven't noticed any great differences other than the minor changes to the Management Studio.

So, should I use SQL 2008?

I think I need to do more research into this question.

[EDIT] Interesting article weighing up the pros and cons

SQL 2008 Express Management Tools Released

Microsoft has released the new management tools for MS SQL 2008 Express
http://www.microsoft.com/express/sql/download/

Where was this earlier? I installed SQL 2008 on my new home server last week only to find that there was no compatible management tool.

Oh well.... Can i be bothered uninstalling SQL 2005? Will they play well together?

Maybe....
