I'd have to say that the play is definitely better at 50 than at 25. But from my perspective, I actually enjoy the challenge a bit better. There are, however, some ridiculously bad players there as well. Last night, in fact, I had people call $5 pre-flop raises with 3,4 suited and Q,T off.
I think if you're still willing to play straightforward poker there, it is possible to be a consistent winner. I used to have a tendency to play ATC whenever I got up huge, but have been a bit more reluctant to do so at the 50 level.
Before you make the jump, I'd recommend building the bankroll to support it. It can take some getting used to when you lose two buy-ins in 45 minutes.
