If it's that mission critical to you, you might want to invest in another 770 for testing this kind of upgrades.

Hopefully we can establish some of these:
Is the Wifi range actually improved?
How much?
Do kismet and airodump still pick up a lot of junk and ghost networks?
Are there any other improvements?
Is the browser any more stable?
What did it break?
Any other hidden fixes/features?
I'm not using kismet and/or airodump, so no idea what's changed.
I've not seen any problem regarding application compatibility nor a difference in wifi range.
There's a bugfix in the latest firmware which caused my 770 to reboot when using WPA network encryption quite often. WPA networks are stable (but maybe a bit slower) now. If you often experience reboots you really want the latest firmware.
