Not much advantage.  There have been a lot of bug fixes since 7.3.x,
but of course a lot of new one have also been introduced with new code
to support the Squeezebox Radio and the new SqueezeNetwork.  There are
some new scanning bugs, too, particularly when dealing with non-western
characters in tags and file paths.

If you use SqueezeNetwork much (now MySqueezebox.com) then you're
effectively forced to upgrade to the latest server software or else
endure constant firmware updates on your SB2/3 as you go back and forth
and the firmware offered by the local server is older than than offered
by mysb.com.

I expect 7.4.1 to be out very soon, which should clear up the major 7.4
bugs, and would expect a 7.4.2 in the not too distant future to clear up
more minor ones.  If you can wait for 7.4.1 you might avoid some of the
issue being experienced by those who have already upgraded.
