updating to 10.7.5

[RedEG6]

i would definitely call my 10.7.3 Lion OSx86 install perfect (well some minor cosmetic glitches which can be overlooked). everything is working as it should. i'm tempted to update to 10.7.5. is it necessary? if so, any precautions i should take and/or files/folders to backup in case everything goes to hell after the update?

thanks!

I honestly can't see a reason not to update. Just understand if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Interestingly enough, I'm running a clean version of 10.7.2 and am perfectly happy. I've never had a problem, and everything works perfectly.

However, I need the latest version of Aperture so that I can get RAW compatibility for one of my cameras... it will only work on 10.7.5 which means I have to update.

It depends on your needs, for me I have to, for others... maybe not

no NEED, beyond 10.7.4 all gets more complicated

i updated from 10.6.8 ( with 99% working rig) to 10.7.3 and 10.7.5 ( cause i wanted to have icloud sync)
and spent two days to get it setup like before ( speedstep is creepy ( need matching SSDT), sleep too)

and geekbench scores are the same here and there.
( before that copy your system to another HD, that you can boot into and make changes, that saves hours)
