V7.2 is quite old, around 3 years maybe more.

Also one must remember/recognize "DEC" supported means they
will answer questions or fix it. Unsupported divers abound in even 7.2
for older hardware.

>From my perspective any version newer than 5.2 is good save for the
standard ".0" releases as they will be buggy.
