There is no cost for upgrading. You just need to have had an active support contract on the unit when the version you want to install was released:

 

 

sol7727: A service check date that is earlier than the license check date now requires you to relicense the system before upgrading

My personal opinion is that there were a lot of new features and underlying structural changes for 11.x and that it might be better to wait for another hotfix or two. If you need a specific load balancing feature which only exists in v11, then I'd suggest upgrading with plenty of testing. But I wouldn't do it just for management changes. Again, that's just my opinion.
