Greetings,

I've upgraded a few of them and haven't noticed much difference. I suggest
you only upgrade if there is some reason to do so such as enhanced security
feature that you are lacking or patch to address a problem you are
experiencing. Make certain you BACKUP you configuration first if you choose
to upgrade.
