Obviously I can't say about that... it's not all an unmitigated success unfortunately as the scenery around my home (EG73, Fearn) is slightly less good than the previous release, in particular the shoreline seems less accurate. Tarbat Ness lighthouse is now stranded out at sea instead of being maybe a hundred yards inshore from it. The landcover data has always been pretty far off but doesn't seem to have changed much for better or worse. I'm not complaining - it's still pretty good and easily good enough to find my way around, but I'm looking forward to the (hopefully not too distant) day when we can make improvements to the scenery with reasonably user-friendly tools and have them incorporated back into the main build. I'll need to take some flights over to the West coast again - I was very impressed with the improvements in the last build around the Summer Isles.
