No need to reinstall from scratch. The pkg image-update command will only pull over files that have been modified since your last install. You also might still have the option of booting off of your original snv_111b BE, and upgrading to the new release from there. I don't think this is necessary, but some might see it as a "cleaner" way of upgrading from one official release to the next, without being concerned with the intermediate development builds.
