V5R2 upgrade - I hope mine's not like Joe's V5R1 upgrade...

All -

I'm considering what will be better - a scratch install or an upgrade from V5R1 
to V5R2...

I bought my 170 with V5R1 preinstalled about three months ago.  Since then, I 
have mostly been playing around with it.  I have loaded several libraries on 
it, but I'm not using it as a production machine yet.  So far, I have spent a 
few hours' time gettiing the TCP/IP stuff set up and I have Netserver working.

I'm inclined to just document the changes I have made {System values, TCP/IP 
setup, etc. - which I need to do anyway),  then just scratch the system and 
reload with V5R2.

Which option is cleaner?  And would the scratch install take longer than a 
version upgrade?  Opinions?

Thanks in advance for your advice,
