For instance a few days back I was speaking with James at Rhino Equipment. He said that he has "no real data" on why I shouldn't use 1.8. They just follow a practice of not jumping on the newest version.

I agree with what Jonathan also said in this thread but that is also a 
good enough reason on it's own.  Data doesn't yet exist to say whether 
it's stable enough.  I like to err on the side of caution with phone 
systems as they cost lots of money when they go wrong!
