I switched to a woven wrap after LO outgrew the moby. I really liked wrapping and knew that I wanted to continue on.
Pros:
Happy baby!
Secure
Supportive
Easy to nurse
No adjusting the size to fit mom/dad
Fits in diaperbag
Gorgeous color options
Cons:
Learning curve to wrapping
Potential cost - A larger wrap with work for all carries but if you want a 'shortie' wrap for quick hip carries you'll need another wrap.

@littlebittyhouse: Which wrap did you go with?
I have spent far too much time researching and still have yet to come up with a decision on a woven. My daughter is 10 months and I am 21 weeks pregnant. The carriers I have used up to know have gotten uncomfortable now that my belly has showed up. I am leaning towards the Easycare wrap because I adore the colors but have been slowed down by the breaking in period it takes.
There are no lending libraries in my area so as much as I would love to try before I buy- its not an option. I have to just jump in with my fingers crossed!
I would love to hear more about what wrap you got!

@Protectlove: I have a size 6 Girasol in Northern Lights. I really really love it! My LO is 11mo and about 23ish lbs. We didn't have a breaking in period really - I washed it a few times to get it a little softer. We typically front wrap cross carry (FWCC) and I will either wrap on me or do a pop-able depending on what we're doing. I use Robin's hip carry a lot but the tails drive me crazy because my wrap is so LONG! We've done a few back carries but I have a hard time doing it without help b/c I have a wiggly leg straightener. I highly suggest a Girasol. Like I said, the only drawback for me is that with a hip carry I have some really long tails. I might need to buy a ring sling for hip carries

I do love the Girasols too! The trouble I keep having is I fall in LOVE with a print and then it is out of stock. Then begins a wild goose chase all over the internet that typically leads me no where.
How tall are you? I was thinking I would order a size 6 but I have heard that if you are petite it can be really long.
