You'll have to weigh the consequences yourself. The main point is: can your system handle it's work load properly now? Is there a desperate reason you need a upgrade? Is there any features in the new version that you actually NEED? If the answers to the above questions are yes, then upgrade with great care, back up everything, if no, I'd say you can wait for a bit. -- Joe -- Money can't buy everything.
