It depends on how soon you think general-purpose quantum computers will
be available. Elliptic-curve keys are *less* resistant to quantum
algorithms than classically-equivalent RSA, due to their smaller size.

Prioritising speculative future strength (on the order of decades) above
real-world usefulness in the present strikes me as a courageous
decision. :-)
