The main reason to upgrade to the current, supported, stable version is 
because it's the version that's supported.  The only down side is you 
have to figure out what's changed and how it affects you.  But, in so 
doing, you'll also be able to understand posts talking about the 
current, stable version and be able to help others on the list with 
using the current, stable version--passing on that knowledge of what's 
changed.

That said, you're in the time period when 0.26 is probably not going to 
be the current, supported version for long, so you may want to consider 
just waiting until 0.27 is released and upgrading once, then.
