If Venus mission finds life, will we shift our attention from Mars to Venus?

Guilty pleasure: I just returned from one tinfoil-hat type of internet pages which suggests that we are being visited by Aliens who live on Venus. The fact, that we have only pictures from the ground from the seventies make it bit spooky (and argument for the site)

Anyway. Real question starts here. NASA proposed Rover mission for Venus and Wiki says it is currently proposed for year 2022

For scope of this question, suppose that NASA really launches rover mission to Venus in 2022 and that it is successful. Actually so successful, that it finds first "alien life" - to remove any tinfoil hats, I obviously mean life in form of bacteria.

Would it make more sense to shift humanity attention to Venus? Or would we continue Mars manned mission simply because "it is easier"?
