I own two vb3.8.x sites and am about to build a new forum. I have a spare 3.8.x licence but I am wondering whether I should upgrade to vb4.x

I'm quite happy with vb3.8.x and we know our way around it pretty well from a support perspective and it's a stable product. However, I normally use vbSEO with my forums and it's now $149 to buy that alone, which seems to make vb4.x very good value.

The main thing that is stopping me from buying vb4.x is that people seem to be having lots of propblems with it, judging by the support forums, and I don't want the headache of support issues caused by software bugs. I know there were masses of bugs in the first couple of releases, but what's it like now?
