I do this often - with my ADHD I can't make up my mind which I prefer. I like the look, feel and familiarity of 7 (as well as everything I have works on it) but 8 has extra features that come in handy and I do enjoy having the most up-to-date stuff where possible so I go from one to the other every week/fortnight or so.
I know some people sometimes have issues with licensing when going either way but I've not had any real issues. My 7 came pre-installed on my machine so whereas some people get told once they go from 7 to 8 they can't use their old 7 key, I've not had any issues at all.
Going to 8 has always been fine too, once or twice when I type in the key I get the "you have reached the maximum number of machines you can install this on" etc message but I activate it over the phone and it all works fine.
