As far as I am concerned, there is one major advantage to the 4.x series. It can serve files over CIFS. It can also serve files over http, but that's much less important to me.
what she said. you do have to pay extra for CIFS, but if you need that facility it's worth the money and the upgrade. if i had it to do all over again, i'd still upgrade to 4.x.y like a shot, but i'd disable NFS over TCP from minute one, since that's been the cause of most of our vexing problems with 4.x.y.
