I would definitely consider it if they can extend the range. Even just 150 miles would go a Long way to improving versatility. I also own a C-Max (not the energy model). Of the two, I definitely like the Focus better for the ride and sportiness of it. The C-Max is a very good car, but the higher upright driving position just feels more pedestrian. If sporty is what you want, the Focus is better, if you want comfort and roominess, the C-max is the way to go. They are both great cars.
