like you have a fairly heavily modded board and any upgrade is hard work
also like you would lose a lot under 3.5
have to make a decision, i think it will be to continue with 3,

I too was once stuck at 3.0.3 and couldn't even get the upgrades within that series done, though I have now got it sussed using Beyond Compare.
The only thing is though, given that Beyond Compare spots all the file changes and reverts them back, unless I manually tell it to ignore changes that are the result of the upgrade, I effectively upgrade in name only...I get a new version number but the files are laregly unchanged.
It's all a bit of a pain. I am currently on 3.0.10 but I would be amazed if I didn't have chunks of code from earlier versions floating around. So many of my templates are customised as well...nightmare.
The best thing I find when upgrading is to look at the manual patch and make sure that that change is kept.
If I could go back in time, I'd not hack the board at all, but you live and learn.
As for 3.5 - well I'm still undecided, but I cannot see the point myself.
