If you don't mind the cost and are happy with iOS, I'd say stick with it and go for the 5.
I prefer Android but there are a lot of great apps you may use on iOS that you can't get on Android.
Check your major apps have Android versions or very strong equivalents. Then consider the benefits of Android.
I've recently started using my Android phone as my media center when I'm at home, using the beta XBMC app and hooking it up to my TV via MHL. I plug it in and stream media from my network drive in 720p to my telly. As far as I'm aware you can't do that on an iPhone.
Though I prefer Android and would advise anyone who isn't really used to a smartphone to get one instead of iOS, I don't think the benefits over iOS are strong enough to encourage a swap, unless you're keen to try something new and learn some new behaviours.
