Yes, I have watched the 15-30 and you have to play against some serious pre-flop raising maniacs who will value-bet (well, perhaps just the word "bet" is the better term) to the river. I wouldn't have considered it this time last year, but I now feel more comfortable against that kind of aggression (having played some 15-30 online) and I have the bankroll to cope with a bad night (say, $2K, not that I intend that to happen!).
I'll still start off at 4-8, moving rapidly to 8-16 and, hopefully, to 15-30 by the end of the first week. You have to give it a shot and accept that your Aces are probably only 55% rather than 80%.
Position obviously becomes more important in this kind of game. One place you do not want to be is in the middle.
