Definitely, that makes sense for sure! Thanks for confirming; better safe than sorry!
I guess I'm wondering then, have there been any reports of people successfully downgrading a PW5 to an existing firmware for that device? I could definitely see a case where many would brick their PW5 downgrading to any version with the old interface (since the device was not even around then), but I'm now curious about going to a version like 5.14.2 on a PW5, since that version was around after the PW5 was released.
I checked the
downgrade thread and searched forum topics, but I haven't yet found any reports of successful downgrades (or bricks, for that matter) for the PW5 downgrading to 5.14.x versions. Figured I'd ask about it in case I'd missed anything!
