I agree with Joseph. I upgraded and am very happy, but I think there are still bugs and major improvements we will see in the future (I mean see the bugs fixed). If possible, that is, if you are not plotting the destruction of your mPower out of frustration, I would advise holding off for a year or so. I say at least a year because HW has lately been rather slow at upgrading. They used to be quite good, but then they dropped off after ks7.0. They say that another advantage of the Apex is that its infrastructure will let them upgrade faster, but only time will reveal the truth or falsity of that one.
