Is MonoDroid worth the effort?

Having finished and successfully published my very first iPhone app with MonoTouch, I'm now seeking for the Android version of the same app.

MonoTouch was very helpful for me, since I still think Objective C is insane to read and write (especially on German keyboards). So C# was a good alternative here.

On Android Java is the primary development language, from what I know. Since Java is much closer to C# than Objective C is, I'm in doubt whether I really should add the extra "layer" of MonoDroid or just use plain Java.

My question is:

From your experiences, was it worth the effort to use MonoDroid or would you do your next project directly with Java?

Update 1:

After a hint from @Dani I found out that there is already a similar question and an answer over at p.se.com. Should I delete or close this question or ask an admin to do?

If your developing the same app for Monodroid, then it would probably make sense, as you should be able to use a large majority of your existing code, and just re-write the UI layer, as well as any platform specific code.
