I didn't go this year, but had gone more or less to pretty much the last dozen or so Nationals. To be perfectly honest, the novelty is wearing off. First of all, it is very expensive with hotel, transportation, food, etc,... even before you step onto the show floor. As a very low end collector, I really can not afford these costs. Secondly, anything I need and/or want is always available online at a better price.
My favorite part of the National has always been the Net54 dinner, which gives me the chance to meet others from this forum.
