My personal opinion: I would not update right now. The important changes are in the drivers. ACPI, better USB support, better video driver. I expect many of those updates will become available through arcanoae and/or bww bitwise works. There are some other updates too, most available for free already (yum/rpm is one). Then there are some cosmetic updates, like sunny icons, file open container. I'd wait a bit and see if it would be more worthwhile to get the separate updates and 'modernise' 1.2 or buy an upgrade. It all depends on what the new companies will offer. I think it won't be long before arcanoae opens it's website. Once they have done so, it's time to decide)
