To be fair- it was a great demo.
i guess i'm more saying it because that sensation is probably somewhat fleeting. once that feeling subsides somewhat (and don't get me wrong, the first few times are absolutely mindblowing), you may be left thinking 'well this is still definitely cool and pretty fun, but i wish there were more long, quality games around instead of just tech demos'.
given the lack of content, i could only recommend you do it if you intend to use the computer for other stuff as well. i bought my first gaming pc in close to 15 years to coincide with the advent of VR. the most (sustained) fun i've had in the last year was probably DOOM, in 2D. i don't regret shelling out $$$ to get all this stuff (and if you have the money to burn, i doubt you would either), but i can't wholeheartedly recommend that you do it.
regarding changing tech, the vive has some cool new knuckle controllers coming out soon, and a third party wireless solution, but a gen 2 headset with improved visuals is probably at least 18-21 months away.
