Personally it doesn't bother me that much if the upgrades aren't available through a simple upgrade switch oin the CPanel .. I've usually done some hackery so I've got to make some changes manually on my localmachine and then upload

What I'd be more worried about is downtime and for that reason alone I would change over.
