The only downside to entering the masquerade is that you pretty much lose your Saturday (meetings, rehearsals, last-minute-fixes, etc.). It's still one of the premier masquerades these days. I'd rate the top three masquerades as SDCC (lots of SPFX guys enter), CostumeCon (pure quality of competition) and DragonCon (sheer size, from what I hear-- I haven't been to one in several years). After that, maybe Otakon and Worldcon. AX has been crippled by its move to the LA convention center...remains to be seen if they regain their prominence.
The dealer's room is worth a look...just leave your credit card at the hotel. It's the ultimate geek-mall/fleamarket!
