It depends on what your needs are.
What LSMB 1.4 gives you is an ability to do a few things that smaller
systems may not:
1. Financial statements
2. Funds accounting (new in 1.4 and not fully developed)
These features together make it a little easier to demonstrate to donors
that money is being properly managed.
