9.4.5 vs 9.3.1 Question

I'm in the process of lease replacing a redundant pair of 1500s that are running 9.3.1 (LTM) with a new pair of 1500s. I have always stayed away from the feature releases to let them get baked in. But there are several features in the 9.4 branch that I could really use especially HTTP class profiles.

 

 

I am looking for opinions if I should go in with 9.4.5 or stick with 9.3.1 and wait for 9.5?

    That is the rub, isn't it? I've been running on 9.4.3 HF2 for several months now with no incidents if that helps.

    I'm pretty sure PSM was only released for 9.4.5. There were a lot of improvements to the architecture between TMM and ASM in 9.4.2+. If you want more functionality and better performance, you can use 9.4.5. If you need something more stable, go with the maintenance release. I think a maintenance release for 9.4.5 will be released some time in the intermediate future. That would probably be the best of both worlds.
