One problem with isometric icons is that they are harder to create and 
as a consequence not so many people will contribute to the development. 
But it you are one of the main icon designers and you like drawing in 
this perspective, I say "more power to you!"
Another problem with isometric icons is they don't work well at smaller 
size. So you will need two versions: isometric for large icons and 
top-down for small icons and will wave to work a lot more. (Of course, 
Tangoicons have also different icons for small and large size, but they 
use similar perspective, so it a bit easier).

+1
Even if I am not a fan of Echo and contributed only very few icons to 
the collection, my opinion is: if you have fun working on Echo, then 
work on it, you have my support.
