Your choice.
My scenario would be that I take my Boom to a location that has WiFi but no SBS. If I want to use it I'll be force to upgrade. Then when I return home I'll have to downgrade. I guess it's not that big a deal as long as it is infrequent. 7.5.3 is out of the question right now due to a nasty bug that myself and others have hit. I struggled for a month with my server going to 100% CPU and the squeezebox server process effectively hung and devices unable to connect until the server is restarted. I saw a similar description in a posting and ever since I downgraded to 7.5.2 I haven't had a single hang. I know it doesn't affect everyone, but for me it was the plague.
