Is Pisa worth the trip?

I only have 2 days in Florence. Is it worth spending 1/2 day in Pisa? I'm guessing there is more than enough to keep me occupied and interested in Florence, but have heard that Pisa is so wonderful.
Thanks.

My take on Pisa is,
"If you like that sort of thing, that is the sort of thing you will like".

I would spend my two days in Florence and wait for a longer trip to zip over to Pisa when you have more time. Of course, I love Florence.

When I read the title of this post I was ready to give my "Yes!" answer... but with 2 days in Florence, probably not.

With respect to Pisa, it's a LOT more than a leaning tower. When you do visit, WALK from the train station to the Field of Miracles. You will experience a charming, absolutely not touristy town (until you get to the Tower). Open your eyes and notice doorways, windows, tiny balconies, a beautiful river running through the town, students everywhere, bicycles lining the street, propped on their pedals against the curb.
