MSDE to SQL Express

Recently I had to evaluate a migration from MSDE to SQL Express. Always being proponent of staying on a current and supported DBMS, you might be surprised that my recommendation was to stay with MSDE.
Given that SQL Server Express 2008 is being ready for release, it does not seem prudent to migrate to SQL Server Express 2005. It may be better to use a leap frog strategy and skip SQL Express 2005, moving right to sql express 2008.
There is no doubt that SQL Express is better than MSDE, but for us, we really don't need any of the features of SQL Express, MSDE is adequate. But we do need to be on a supported DBMS that runs on Vista, and it is what is driving the upgrade.
