The returns on choosing F# are very much reliant of level of proficiency attained.
Once you are proficient, you will write
- less code for similar functionality
- have lot less dependency cycles
- using Option types over null helps in the long run
- improvement in productivity
The only problem is that you have attain a level of proficiency and flip the "train" of thought from OOP to Functional, and that can take some good time.

Gotcha - thanks! I haven't touched functional languages other than for fun lately, so I may take a look sooner or later. I've always been interested.
