Firmware - Pro's and Con's?

Hi IISer's,

I remember reading somewhere that updating the firmware in your mount is not a good idea unless something is not working correctly, and that you can "brick" your mount, i really wish i bookmarked the page, because it put me off the idea of updating my firmware! can anyone give the pro's and con's in updating the firmware in the hand controller and motordrive?
I have not updated mine, but have noticed on some rare occasions when i move the scope in DEC and release my finger from the button the mount continues to move a few degrees (slew speed 5) which can be frustrating when imaging. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

James
