I've held out for now on Sanderson's Stormlight Archive as well, but I'm thinking about starting it. Sanderson has two things going for him that Martin does not - he's young and (presumably) healthy, and he's prolific as heck. He churns out several books a year at times. He's also transparent - you can go to his blog and get a good idea of the status of the book you're waiting for.
