Hi Chris,
leJOS is not an irreversible step, nor is legOS or pbForth or even
Lego's default firmware. The firmware is stored in battery-backed RAM,
so you can download different firmwares as much as you like.
Look for an article about leJOS in JavaWorld in February or so.
The firmware didn't change between 1.0 and 1.5, although the PC-side
software changed a little and the parts included are slightly different.
If you want to play around with the 2.0 firmware, it's available (in
beta) here:
http://mindstorms.lego.com/sdk2/index.html
