or rather: don't do that. it's only the beta that's free. once the product goes final, it should compete with Apple's Aperture - and might cost like the professional software it's supposed to be! So: Rather try _not_ locking yourself in.
I'd say iPhoto '06 - with its option to not tamper with your file/folder structure - is worth another try.
Another thing: Since iPhoto _does_ have good management with meta-data, it should basically never be a big problem to switch to _another_ good program that handles meta-data. So *I*'d just let iPhoto handle the stuff the way it wants to. You don't really have to look at the folder structure, since _iPhoto_ should be the way to look at the photos.
