I'd go for the upgrade. I was someone who had Retrospect backup prior to Leopard but even then I was not as diligent as I should - as others have said, Time Machine is superb - I've even used it to restore files a couple of times which worked like a dream. Backing up your stuff is one thing, but finding it again is another.
Also, QuickLook is is another excellent reason to get Leopard - it's something I use just about every day though I've got so used to it it almost passes unnoticed. There's also Spaces which is quite handy but not as much as I'd imagined. There are other nice features too, but most of them don't really register nearly as much. as Time Machine and QuickLook. You could of course hold on until Snow Leopard ( http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/snowleopard ) which MAY come out of captivity around Summer next year but that's guesswork. It depends on how comfy you are with what you have, how much you'd like the new features and the depth of your wallet ...
