Just to clarify, it was the 4th edition GURPS or the 4th Edition DnD  
that caused them to switch.

I ask mostly because several die-hard DnD gamers I know have a strong  
dislike of 4th edition DnD. Having read through the rules, I don't  
blame them. It takes most of the role play and story fun out of the  
game.

In any event, this sounds like a big win for 4th edition GURPS.
