Next point is SL4 has got lot of features of WPF. You can google and find out SL4 new features. Just focus on using more of modularilzation in Silverlight so that the XAP file does not become heavy for user to download.
Again WPF will have its own limitations. The set up file has to be made such that the user has got the latest dot net framework and what not.
So, be wise in your decision.
