Go for it! I am unaware of any serious upgrade problems except on the tray-load Rev. A-D iMacs and the 8 gig rule and firmware updates on the older models. If you've already backed everything up, then you have nothing to fear on your FP iMac. I happen to have one of the older Rev. D iMacs, and once I resolved the 8 gig problem, Jag installed without any problems, and all the updates to 10.2.4 have gone without a hitch.
