I would disagree.  Don't spend the money unless you find that 2.* 
doesn't do something you need.  I spoke to vmware regarding upgrading. 
All the things they told me I'd get, were either of no use or no 
interest to me.  Yeah, I hear it's faster, but I'm perfectly happy with 2.*.

For me the cost was not justified.

I didn't have to by my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
