I'm not convinced that there are enough evo-to-creo conversions to observe whether or not a trend exists.
Anybody can say, "I used to be an evo." but in most cases I think it's just a propaganda tactic.
I'm pretty much convinced of this as well - many of the "converted" never actually seem to have much of a clue about TOE. Moreover, I suspect a lot of them become creationists and think "well I guess that means I must have been an evolutionist before" without really having considering their position in any detail previously.
I'm reaching now - the most "convinced" are those who convert due to some traumatic experience - the youth earth stuff then becomes tied-up to the "solving" of that experience via conversation. Because if it's not all true, then maybe none of it's true and those "bad things" were real, could happen again etc etc.
