I wouldn't go that far. 7.5.3 (r2 for PCI Power Macs) was really good. 7.5.5 was mostly a virtual memory speedup and a few minor bugfixes, I think (definitely worthwhile for the VM, though). If you use these, make sure you upgrade to Open Transport 1.1.2 and (if necessary) the latest LaserWriter 8 driver. 7.6 was nice, but the update to 7.6.1 is essential; a few people hit showstoppers with 7.6.
