Vbulletin Upgrade Considerations?

This has been a struggle of mine for a long time and hope to get some good insights on this.

What are your considerations whether to upgrade your VB version? I have a relatively huge forum with lots of mods and plugins implemented. I'm currently using ver 3.6.8.

To upgrade, I will need:
- to check every single mod & plugin individually to see their compatibility. if not, i will prob lose that function.
- to check if my skin is compatible and to see what are the changes needed. Hire a coder to implement the changes necessary on the skin.

Just these 2 alone makes it such a daunting task. Am I right to say that? Do you guys upgrade your VB once a new version comes out? I love some of the new features in the newer versions but the immense work and effort required has always stopped me. Are these the same struggles you guys face? cause when i read the threads, it seems that many are so willing to upgrade their versions as though it is a piece of cake. Am I missing something here??
