I have an older (much older) PC running my gantry router.
The latency on it was boarder-line and I didn't want to deal with issues 
in the middle of a project.
So, with the help of the folks here I was able to get thigs running 
pretty smothly with 8.4.
Heron was my first exposure to Linux and seemed like revisiting an old 
friend,

In short, it's worth a try.
