You don't know for certain. I don't know for certain.

My point is that there is no point in changing if you have a working 
setup. Changing requires
1	Finding out just what IS necessary to switch
2	Planning the cutover
3	Planning the recovery if it fails
4	Spending time learning another product.

Doubtless there are other things, but I make the point: staying with a 
working setup requires no extra work whereas changing does require extra 
work; quite a bit if your business depends on getting it right.

You'd need to be sure that the benefits will outweigh the costs and risks 
before embarking on the move.
