Better the devil you know?

So we are going to get our referendum on voting reform and switching to the Alternative Vote system.  You may wish to refer back to my post dated 31/5/09 to refresh your memory as to how this would work.  I'm keeping my powder dry for the time being, and waiting to hear the arguments in full, but initially I'm not sure of the wisdom of replacing an admittedly flawed electoral system with what may well be a worse one.
