Default Worth moving to 3.5 from 3x?

I'm using vB 3x currently on a med size forum (5500 members) with a bunch of custom hacks and Photopost.

Is it worth the trouble to upgrade to 3.5? I'm thinking no.

I'd say yes if most/all of your hacks have been ported. Upgrading vB from 3.5.0 is supposedly going to be much easier.

It was a breeze. I install a fresh copy of 3.5.0 and used impex. total of ten minutes.

Sure, it's a breeze if you don't have any/many hacks installed. heh

Ok,

Most people are saying go to 3.5, can you explain why? I mean is it worth the headache of upgrading for features I won't use?

I had over 100 customizations installed. I am now installing all of the ones I had as I port them over.

It was no problem - I even set up a test site/database to ensure it - there were a couple small issues, but nothing that couldn't be resolved. And best yet, my 3.0 style transferred to 3.5

You'll probably use more of the features than you think you will. 3.5.0 is the only way to go. The plug-in/product system alone is enough reason to upgrade.
