Mopar Performance is coming out with some exciting stuff. When it comes to mopars it's a complusive disorder for me. lol

The 351 is just a stroker 302 from the factory. Different deck height, beefier bottom end. Otherwise, they are much the same engine. Quite frankly, you could just do a couple mods to the 302 to make a bunch more power all motor.
I don't personally see a good reason to do a 351W swap unless you're looking to put down between 500-600hp. Otherwise you could get a stronger 302 block, or stay with the stock 302 block. The difference in power output between the 351 and 302 might equate to 40hp on an equally modded setup, 20hp on a stock setup. Not worth the extra hassle to me.
