Parts of Montco are very similar to parts of Nova. Silver Spring = South Arlington (though SS is more AA and SA is more Hispanic.) Bethesda = North Arlington. Potomac = McLean. Falls Church is kind of crunchy like Takoma Park. Rockville/Gaithersburg/Germantown are similar to parts of Fairfax.
I don't really see the point in moving across the river unless your friends are all over here or your commute will improve. I think the two areas are pretty similar. (I live in Arlington - 7 years - after 12 years in Fairfax and 4 in DC.)
