If I install Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 1 now, will it be easy to upgrade to the full release when it's out in late April?

There will be no need to upgrade.

Install regular updates and finally you will be on the stable Ubuntu 16.04

As you will already be on 16.04 you will not need to upgrade to 16.04 as if you were on a different release from it.

If you continue to install updates using the Software Updater, or:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then when the full release of Ubuntu 16.04 is released, that will upgrade you to it.

No separate upgrade required - just do the regular sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade and you will be fine. But you should also be aware that you would be installing beta software, and it may have a few issues.
