I really don't know what benefits would come from changing, to be honest. I still haven't truly figured out what Java 7 can do that Java 6 can't! The only reason I even brought it up is because of the impending end-of-support date for Java 7. Everything you said makes sense to me. It is good to be able to support a wider user base that includes all those who do not immediately upgrade when Oracle stops supporting them.
