Try it.  See for yourself.  It all depends on the kinds of music you listen to, and which tuning of Vorbis you encode with.
I've tried Vorbis and I'm quite happy with it, esp. when resampled for low bitrates.

According to Roberto's 64 kbps test, mp3pro on average is rated higher than Vorbis.  But yeah, it does depend on the kind of music too.

If we take into account the error bars in Roberto Amorim's 64kbps listening test, it's hard to tell which performed better, as they overlap to a reasonable extent.

I think that vorbis would be a wiser choice because mp3 pro plugins for players are not really mainstream while vorbis plugin are often in the default install, for modern players.
