Upgrade to Lollipop or pass?

Well, it appears Samsung is finally rolling out 5.0.1 Lollipop for the Galaxy Note 4 (PDA build: N910FXXU1BOB4) in Europe (the update is only available in Germany ATM), but for some time now I've been on the fence as to whether I should make the jump from the stable KitKat to the brand new, teething Lollipop. The new OS version has had a shaky start with rather annoying bugs -especially on the Google's Nexus 6 flagship- (i.e. a debilitating memory leak that forces the user to reboot his phone lest he run out of RAM), though many of them have now been fixed in either 5.0.1 and/or 5.0.2.



However, I hear (from people who have managed to flash their Note 4) that there are still a few annoyances, such as battery drains (strange, the ART that replaces Dalvik should actually guarantee better battery life), some program crashes, the butchering of the silent mode, etc.





So, for those that have a phone sporting Android 5.0 (either a flashed custom ROM or a legit OTA update), is it okay upgrading now or should I wait until at least 5.1 before crossing the Rubicon? I know it's possible to downgrade Samsung phone kernels using a piece of software known as ODIN, but I'd rather stay away from the ROM flashing business. Not to mention, I'm rather content with the stable KitKat 4.4.4.
