Another question, how is the replay value on this? Is it anywhere near that of Settlers or Carcassonne?
It depends on your taste and group really, that and what expansions you are working into the base Carcassonne.
In my book, Lords of Waterdeep is more repayable but that's largely because I enjoy worker placement games over either Settlers or Carcassonne. Setters and Carcassonne are certainly great games but for 2012 they see 1 to 10 the amount of playtime against Lords of Waterdeep for me.
Of course, Lords is new so that is a factor, but I suspect that we'll see an expansion in 2013 to help it maintain that new game smell. Lots of design space to explore here still.
