I like the LCR. I wouldn't get rid of a j-frame to "upgrade" but it is a good gun. Everything else I own from Ruger is great and I will probably get at least one other Ruger gun for my collection.

My only complaints on the LCR is that I find the grip to be a bit large for ccw. Second, I don't like the cylinder release button, I like a S&W/Taurus style cylinder release. The last is not so much the gun but the (lack of) holsters available, which will be remedied over time.

If you're not in a rush maybe wait and look at the new S&W polymer revolver. Although, I think between those two; I would go with the LCR. the new S&W has a built in laser (and I don't care for laser sights) and the cylinder release is in a "different" (read: strange) location above the grip.
