Although erosion is a legitimate concern, there are many benefits to tilling in the fall. This will give time for air pockets to settle, while still allowing the soil texture to be ideal. It is also a good time to till in your amendments to allow them to break down over winter.
Still, many people choose to till in spring, which is fine as well. Ultimately the choice is up to you.
