Give it a try. Beamer + PGF for images and line art is a pretty
powerful combination. There is a great example presentaion by Ki-Joo
Kim that runs 200+ pages and shows many of the features.

No on-the-fly color scheme changes but the rest can be done with
beamer. You can change color schemes with a quick edit and
re-compile.

Well, that is certanily a hard point to argue!
I've never done more than look into pdfscreen so I can't say much
about it. Except for one experiment with a groff based presentation
maker, a few excruciatingly painful GUIs (OpenOffice and PowerPoint,
I'm looking at you!) and an occasional skribe compilation I've always
used latex. I went from "slides" to "seminar" to "prosper" and now
use "beamer" exclusively. To me each was an exponential improvement
on the previous.
