What are you looking to get out of postfix?  If it is better security
and performance then sendmail 8.11 might be of interest to you. 
Sendmail has been very secure for quite sometime, and since 8.10
sendmail has been supporting multiple queues which effectivly allow it
to work much better with high volume mailinglists.  It seems that the
real bottleneck these days with MTA's is the file I/O.  

The reason I am mentioning this is that I considered moving to postfix,
but didn't want to give up my knowledge of sendmail.  Sendmail, if you
know it well, can be highly configurable.  In the end I removed the
default Cobalt implementation of sendmail (rpm -e) and installed
sendmail 8.11.  It works great.

If still interested in sendmail checkout their 8.11 webpage:
