RR is 'easy'. Go out & spray any time, and the weeds will be killed. Weather, other issues don't matter.
With conventional sprays, you need to be on time. If you are late, you may hurt the corn, or you may not kill the weeds if they are too big.
If your previous crop was a rr crop, it might be good to give LL a try - change up the chemical so the weeds - as well as volinteer growth from last crop - is killed off & out of the way.
Cost - that is a real tossup right now - no one knows what ru will cost whenever you buy it - was supposed to be up $40 a gallon, now hearing it is dropping $10 a gallon - who knows? With prices fluctuating so much, it is a brand new year, we can't just go off of last year's prices. Have you priced seed corn this year in fact, most say it is _much_ higher than last year, look into that if you haven't.
Just need to look around yourself at what prices are for this year, see what pencils out for you.
If grain prices don't come up, and seed, fert, & herbicide prices stay up where they are - we will not see much corn planted in 2009! _Something_ is going to have to give.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
