Advice on Compact Crank / Cassette

I am considering changing the gearing on my Luna to make hill climbing a little easier. Right now I have a 53-39 crank and a 13-26 cassette.
I could replace the cassette with a 12-30 but I would also need to replace my rear derailleur from a short to a medium cage.
My other option would be to put on a compact crank. I have had my eye on the new Campagnolo Ultra Torque CT crank either in Record or Chorus for some time. The Record is a lot more money for a little weight savings so I would probably get the Chorus version.
Both options would get me similar gearing, however, the compact crank would cost more and I would also have to replace the front derailleur.
My chain is worn out and needs replacing so I thought it might be a good idea to change either the rear derailleur or the crank now.
