Is it wise to convert to an SAP NetWeaver EP/XI career from a Java/J2EE background?

I have approximately two years of experience with Java/J2EE. Recently I received a job offer from a company, but the work will include SAP NetWeaver EP and XI. Is it wise to shift from Java to SAP NetWeaver based on this information?

You will be using some Java/J2EE. EP especially uses lots of J2EE. Also, I think you will earn more money in the SAP world if you were to convert.
