You are better off waiting until Twister comes out this month before upgrading for one reason:
You can preserve both versions on the same machines. So you can keep 5.2, and slowly migrate to Twister for new applications. Plus with the number of improvement on Parallel Extender (including the ability to use containers containing server stages), it's worth waiting for.

If anyone is interested, I will be attempting to install this in the upcoming weeks (maybe next week?), so I can identify any issues that I found during this process.
Of course, I'm sure there'll be plenty of folks posting on here if the issues are serious enough.
