Part of my decision to stay with OS 9 is due to the many struggles with OS X I see posted to this list. I need an entire new suite of software to struggle through learning like I need a hole in the head. I just don't have the time for that.
Have you even TRIED OS X? How can you compare two OS's, without actually trying them both? You have two machines perfectly capable of running OS X, and someone has even offered to GIVE you a copy for free! Why not give it a fair trial and see for yourself? And from what I've read here, I don't really see that many folks having major issues. I would venture to say that the vast majority of folks have never had any serious issues, but they aren't the ones that post to here and other lists. You're much more likely to hear from folks who have problems, than from folks who don't, and why should you? If they don't have a problem, they aren't going to asking for help. Remember, it's the squeaky wheel that gets all the attention.
That was MY original reason for not switching to OS X...but after 3 years I broke down and got a new computer and HAD to switch...it has been great! Easy to use, a little different but not difficult. Works fast, smoothly and have had no problems that I couldn't figure out with a little list help. Not too bad for a first time OS X user!
If you haven't tried it, go to a store that has Mac stuff and at least play with it on a new computer...I really don't see much of a problem!
