Are there any other pros/cons in switching to Slim? Other than the syntax of course.

I'd say speed and syntax are the main reasons. I've used both Haml and Slim over 5 or so projects and the jump doesn't feel all that significant. If you know Haml, you can pickup Slim within a couple of days at most.
