Never attempt to "downgrade" a new model device (any device) to a firmware that is older than its initial release firmware.
Even if you could, don't try it. Assume the manufacturer had a reason for developing the newer firmware rather than shipping the one they already had on hand.
Huh? According the the OP:

"If your device shipped on 5.4.5 or newer, all is not lost, you should be able to downgrade to 5.4.3.2 with a bit of trickery."

So should/will I be able to downgrade my PW2 or not? Now I'm confused and don't want to brick it.

ETA - Is this the "key" - "new model device" - which I guess technically the PW2 isn't one?
